At a Glance
- Hailee Steinfeld walked the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet in a peach Prada gown while pregnant with her first child by Josh Allen.
- The Buffalo Bills quarterback missed the ceremony to lead a 27-24 road playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, ending a 30-year drought.
- Sinners, Steinfeld’s horror film, claimed two Globes from seven nominations, including Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Original Score.
- Why it matters: The night fused Hollywood glamour with NFL history, spotlighting Steinfeld’s dual triumph on stage and Allen’s clutch touchdown that ignited Bills fans worldwide.
While Hailee Steinfeld glided across the Beverly Hilton stage Jan. 11 to present a trophy, a cheeky voice-over tipped its hat to the father of her unborn child.
“Please welcome one of the stars of ‘Sinners,’ Hailee Steinfeld – congrats on that Bills’ win,” the announcer told the Nikki Glaser-hosted crowd, “and Golden Globe winner Ayo Edebiri.”
The nod landed because Josh Allen was 2,400 miles away, engineering the 27-24 victory that snapped the franchise’s three-decade road-playoff skid.
Game-Winning Drive
With 1:05 left in EverBank Stadium, Allen dropped a passing touchdown to seal the comeback against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The score capped a night where he threw for 237 yards and rushed for 54, pushing the Bills into the divisional round for the fifth straight season.
Red-Carpet Debut
Steinfeld, expecting her first child with Allen, stepped onto the carpet in a peach-colored, floor-length Prada gown. The Oscar-nominated actress cradled her baby bump as photographers angled for shots.
Allen, watching from Florida, reposted the image to his Instagram story, adding only a drooling emoji.
Night of Wins
Sinners, the Ryan Coogler-directed horror period piece, entered the evening with seven nominations and left with two trophies:
- Cinematic and Box Office Achievement
- Best Original Score
Steinfeld portrays Mary, a white-passing Black woman navigating Jim Crow-era danger in the South.
“When I read the script, it was one of those things where it’s just a feeling,” she told Who What Wear in February. “It’s a feeling I’ve only got a handful of times, and that’s a privilege and a blessing. But it’s a feeling that, once you have felt it, you crave nothing but that feeling.”
She called the part “a role I had been waiting for” and added, “I hope and pray that I get to do a million more of these, because I do think that’s part of this next phase of life.”
