Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters Wins 2 Golden Globes 2026: A New Milestone
Netflix's animated film KPop Demon Hunters won Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song (Golden) at the 83rd Golden Globes on January 11, 2026.
K-pop just conquered Hollywood's animated world. Netflix's breakout hit KPop Demon Hunters clinched two major prizes at the 83rd Golden Globes, signaling a tectonic shift in global entertainment dynamics.
KPop Demon Hunters Dominates Golden Globes 2026
Directed by Korean-Canadian filmmaker Maggie Kang, the film was awarded Best Motion Picture, Animated, and Best Original Song for its lead track, "Golden." The ceremony took place on Sunday, Jan 11 (U.S. time), at The Beverly Hilton, where the industry's elite gathered to celebrate the year's cinematic achievements.
The Global Rise of Fictional Group Huntr/x
According to Yonhap, the film follows Huntr/x, a fictional K-pop girl group that uses the power of music to banish evil spirits. This creative fusion of high-octane animation and the infectious energy of K-pop has resonated deeply with global audiences. The win follows a similar streak at the Critics Choice Awards earlier this month, marking the film as a frontrunner for the upcoming awards season.
