Golden Globes 2026: Priyanka Chopra presents Best Actor award to Noah Wyle for 'The Pitt'
Los Angeles, January 12
Actor Noah Wyle won the award for Best Actor in a TV Drama at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night. He received the honour for his role in the medical drama series 'The Pitt.'
The award was presented to him by actor Priyanka Chopra and Blackpink member Lalisa Manoban at the ceremony held in Beverly Hills.
While accepting the award, Wyle spoke about how important the moment was for him and shared his feelings about his long journey in acting. He said the win meant a lot after years of learning and working in the industry.
"What a truly humbling moment this is," Wyle said on stage. "Oh my goodness. I am so incredibly grateful and I don't know how to say all my gratitude for 54 years at 60 seconds. I'm indebted to so many people. I've been inspired by so many people, many of whom I've got the great honor of being nominated with this evening," Wyle said as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Wyle also spoke about his background and the values he grew up with. He shared how art, learning, and helping others shaped his life. During his speech, he thanked healthcare workers around the world, linking the message to the theme of his show.
"I was raised in a family that put a high priority on art and on curiosity and on service," he said. "I've benefited from incredible teachers and I've received some incredible advice from some very good friends."
Wyle was nominated alongside actors Sterling K. Brown, Diego Luna, Gary Oldman, Mark Ruffalo and Adam Scott. His Golden Globe win adds to a strong awards season, as he earlier won the Critics' Choice Award and the Emmy for the same role.
The 2026 Golden Globe Awards are being hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser and are taking place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Good for him, a well-deserved win after so many years. But honestly, I wish our Indian award shows had this level of genuine emotion and less scripted drama. Wyle thanking healthcare workers was a classy touch, given his show's theme.
Priyanka and Lisa from Blackpink presenting together? That's a powerhouse duo! Interesting mix. Wyle's mention of being raised with values on art and service resonates deeply with our own cultural emphasis on *sanskar*. Congrats to him!
As someone who watched ER back in the day, this feels like a full-circle moment for Noah Wyle. His longevity in the industry is impressive. The competition was tough this year, so this win is significant.
While it's wonderful to see our global stars, I do feel a bit of respectful criticism is due. The article focuses heavily on the Hollywood winner (rightly so), but I wish Indian media would give equal, in-depth coverage to our own film award winners and their speeches. Our artists have equally compelling journeys.
Noah Wyle's win is a lesson in perseverance. 54 years in the industry! That's dedication. His shoutout to teachers and friends reminds me of the Guru-Shishya parampara we have here. More power to such artists who stay grounded.
