Julia Roberts<\/a> even makes other celebrities star struck.<\/p>\n

When she appeared on stage at the 2026 Golden Globes<\/a>, the eternal star of Pretty Woman and My Best Friend’s Wedding was met with thunderous applause. One by one, the room full of stars got to their feet, ultimately greeting her with a lively standing ovation.<\/p>\n

“Yep, everybody! Lets go!” Roberts joked, motioning for the entire auditorium at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles to stand for her. “In the back! Come on!”<\/p>\n

Roberts let out one of her instantly recognizable laughs, observing, “Emma Stone, she’s like, ‘What the hell is going on right now.'”<\/p>\n

Julia Roberts gets a standing ovation at the Golden Globes 2026<\/p>\n

“Wow, thank you. I’m going to be impossible for at least a week,” Roberts ultimately shared, before presenting the award for Best Motion Picture \u2014 Musical or Comedy to Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another.<\/p>\n

But before she read the word on that final and most consequential envelope, she shouted out one of the rising stars in the room. After noting that she told Kevin Hart to stay when he made the signal he may duck out of the ceremony early, “because I lost, a minute ago, me and Eva Victor,” Roberts called the writer, director, and star of Sorry, Baby “my hero. Yeah, Sorry, Baby. If you have not seen it, see it.”<\/p>\n

Roberts and Victor joined Renate Reinsve, Tessa Thompson, and Jennifer Lawrence in the pool of nominees for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture \u2014 Drama award, which went to Hamnet star Jessie Buckley, who paid tribute to the Pretty Woman star in her acceptance speech<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“You are a hero to us all!” Buckley said.<\/p>\n

Shortly after Roberts left the stage, her Ocean’s franchise costars, Don Cheadle and George Clooney, took to the stage to present the Best Motion Picture \u2014 Drama award to Chloe Zhao’s Hamnet.<\/p>\n

Before the big reveal, Cheadle playfully ribbed Clooney by noting, “I saw Julia backstage, she’s looking good, everybody stood up.”<\/p>\n

Clooney ruefully responded, “Yeah, they didn’t stand up [for us].”<\/p>\n

After the Hunt and Jay Kelly, the films that sent Roberts and Clooney to the Globes, respectively, didn’t end up taking home any awards.<\/p>\n

One Battle After Another wound up the evening’s big winner, winning Best Film, Director, Screenplay, and Supporting Actress, for Teyana Taylor<\/a>.<\/p>\n
