Dax Shepard laments losing Golden Globe as texts reveal his REAL reaction to being defeated by Amy Poehler

10 hours ago 2

Dax Shepard posted a screen-grab of his private text messages to pull the curtain back on his real reaction to losing a Golden Globe Award.

The ceremony had a best podcast prize for the first time this year, and Shepard was up for his show Armchair Expert, which he co-hosts with Monica Padman.

However the husband of Kristen Bell found himself bested by Amy Poehler, who took home the trophy for her podcast Good Hang.

After his defeat, he fired up his Instagram to show the text exchange he had that night with one of his and Bell's two daughters - Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 11.

'You look so handsome dada,' wrote one of his little girls before the show started, adding: 'Your suit is stunning' - to a heartwarming reply from Shepard.

'You, know, the ONLY reason I'm sad I didn't win is because I wanted to stand on that stage and tell the whole world how much I love you and your sister,' he wrote.

His message was accompanied by a string of heart emoji, and when he posted the texts to Instagram, he added the caption: 'I won tonight. And every night.'

Shepard attended the Golden Globes on the arm of his wife, who was also nominated for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Series for Nobody Wants This, but lost out in the end to Hacks star Jean Smart, earning the gong for the third year in a row.

That evening, Timothee Chalamet soared over Leonardo DiCaprio - who stars in One Battle After Another - as the betting favorite to win the coveted Best Actor Oscar as he earned the top honor at the Golden Globe Awards 2026 for Marty Supreme (directed by Josh Safdie).

Before Award season it was 51-year-old DiCaprio who was the odds favorite to take home the coveted gong, but now Chalamet is a massive favorite to win the top acting prize at March's Academy Awards according to regulated exchange and prediction market Kalshi.

One Battle After Another was the most awarded film of the night with four but will no doubt face stiff competition in the Oscars race from Hanmet (directed by Chloe Zhao) as it earned the last award of the night in the Best Picture - Drama category over Frankenstein, It Was Just An Accident, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, and Sinners.

On the television side, it was The Pitt (created by R. Scott Gemmill), The Studio (created by Evan Goldberg, Alex Gregory, and Peter Huyck), and Adolescence (created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne) which earned wins in the drama, comedy or musical, and limited series categories, respectively.

Meanwhile, 30-year-old Chalamet surely had tongues wagging as he barely acknowledged girlfriend Kylie Jenner during his acceptance speech for Marty Supreme.

After his defeat, he fired up his Instagram to show the text exchange he had that night with one of his and Bell's two daughters - Lincoln, 12, and Delta, 11

He explained: 'I said, "If you want to, we’ll freeze your eggs when you’re 18. I’ll pay for you to get your eggs frozen so you don’t have to think about that"'; He and Delta are pictured with Kristen and 12-year-old daughter Lincoln

The French-speaking actor had another major awards show moment as he earned Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy and abruptly ended his speech by saying: 'To my parents and partner, I love you. Thank you so much.'

It was noticeably a much more muted acknowledgement for Jenner, 28, as he boldly declared her love for her at last week's Critics Choice Awards 2026.

Chalamet beat out an impressive field led by Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another as the field also featured: George Clooney - Jay Kelly, Ethan Hawke - Blue Moon, Lee Byung-Hun - No Other Choice, Jesse Plemons - Bugonia.

One Battle After Another led all winners with four including the aforementioned Best Picture - Comedy Or Musical gong along with Best Director and Screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson and a surprise Best Supporting Actress win for Teyana Taylor.

Buckley earned one of the top acting gongs of the night as she earned Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama.

The 36-year-old Irish actress triumphed over an A-list field including: Jennifer Lawrence - Die, My Love, Renate Reinsve - Sentimental Value, Julia Roberts - After the Hunt, Tessa Thompson - Hedda, and Eva Victor - Sorry, Baby.

The teenage actor was recognized in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role — TV Series, Limited series or TV Movie category.
