How did Wisconsin do at the Golden Globes? Mark Ruffalo, Amy Madigan and more

Wisconsin was well-repped at the 83rd annual Golden Globes.

There were at least five nominees with connections to the state. But, unfortunately, none of them ended up walking away with a win at this year’s award show, which aired live on CBS and Paramount+ on Jan. 11.

Though, some of them still made statements, including Kenosha son Mark Ruffalo, who spoke out about the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good.

Here’s a look at local ties to the 2026 Globes, their noteworthy moments from the night, and where to find a full list of this year’s winners:

1. Kate Hudson

Rose Byrne won Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her performance in “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.”

That meant a loss for Kate Hudson, who had been nominated for her portrayal of Milwaukee’s own Claire Sardina in “Song Sung Blue.” The biopic is about Claire and her late husband, Mike (played by Hugh Jackman) – the real-life couple behind the Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder. The movie is based on a 2008 documentary about the duo, also called “Song Sung Blue.”

Hudson – who dazzled in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé gown draped in crystal and silk fringe – was joined on the red carpet by fiancé Danny Fujikawa, according to InStyle.

The other actresses nominated in the category were Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked: For Good”), Emma Stone (“Bugonia”), Amanda Seyfried (“The Testament of Ann Lee”) and Chase Infiniti (“One Battle After Another”).

2. Amy Madigan

Amy Madigan, a Marquette University graduate, fell to Teyana Taylor in the category of Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture. But, she had a win on the red carpet.

Taylor won for her performance as Perfidia Beverly Hills in “One Battle After Another.”

Madigan had been nominated for her performance as Aunt Gladys in “Weapons.” The other actresses nominated in that category were Emily Blunt (“The Smashing Machine”), Elle Fanning (“Sentimental Value”), Ariana Grande (“Wicked: For Good”) and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (“Sentimental Value”).

Madigan walked the red carpet with her husband, actor Ed Harris, and their daughter, Lily, People reported. Madigan and Harris both donned tuxedos, an homage to their 1996 Globes’ looks, according to Entertainment Weekly.

3. Mark Ruffalo

Noah Wyle beat out Mark Ruffalo for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Drama.

Wyle won for his performance as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch in “The Pitt.”

Ruffalo had been nominated for his performance as Tom Brandis in “Task.” The other actors nominated in that category were Sterling K. Brown (“Paradise”), Diego Luna (“Andor”), Gary Oldman (“Slow Horses”) and Adam Scott (“Severance”).

Ruffalo, an activist, wore a black-and-white pin that read “BE GOOD” in response to the killing of Renee Good, who was fatally shot by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“This is for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered,” Ruffalo told USA TODAY on the red carpet, proceeding to call out President Donald Trump.

“So this is for her,” Ruffalo continued. “This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I’m one of them. I love this country. And what I’m seeing here happening is not America.”

4. Carrie Coon

Three “White Lotus” actresses were nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role on Television.

But, they’d all be bested by Erin Doherty for her performance as Briony Ariston in “Adolescence.”

Carrie Coon – a University of Wisconsin-Madison grad who performed with the Madison Repertory Theatre, American Players Theatre and Renaissance Theaterworks – had been nominated for her performance as Laurie Duffy in “The White Lotus.”

According to E! News, Coon wasn’t at the awards ceremony due to a performance of her Broadway show “Bug.”

The other actresses nominated in the category were Hannah Einbinder (“Hacks”), Catherine O’Hara (“The Studio”), Parker Posey (“The White Lotus”) and Amy Lou Wood (“The White Lotus”).

5. Charlie Hunnam

Stephen Graham came out on top in the category Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television for his performance as Eddie Miller in “Adolescence.”

That meant a loss for Charlie Hunnam, who portrayed Wisconsin killer Ed Gein in “Monster: The Ed Gein Story.”

The other actors nominated in the category were Jacob Elordi (“The Narrow Road to the Deep North”), Paul Giamatti (“Black Mirror”), Jude Law (“Black Rabbit”) and Matthew Rhys (“The Beast in Me”).
