The Latest: Golden Globes kicks off Hollywood's 2026 awards season

Hollywood’s awards season is underway with the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, happening now.

Comedian Nikki Glaser returns for a second year to host the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. It’s a Champagne-soaked party featuring some of the biggest names in film and television, even if the awards won’t exactly forecast the Oscars.

“One Battle After Another” topped the list of nominations with nine, closely followed by “Sentimental Value” with eight. “Wicked: For Good” was snubbed for best picture and best director. Others left out... Read More

49ers' George Kittle tears Achilles tendon in playoff win over Eagles

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — George Kittle's season was over, a torn right Achilles tendon for the star tight end that dampened the mood in a playoff win that kept the San Francisco 49ers in the hunt for a Super Bowl.

Yet Kittle, perhaps knowing the worst, clapped for his 49ers' teammates even as he was carted off the field late in the first half of Sunday’s wild-card playoff game at Philadelphia.

“I think everyone’s just hurting for Kittle,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said.

US futures slip while Asian shares gain as Fed chair Powell faces legal threat

BANGKOK (AP) — U.S. futures slipped but markets in Asia advanced Monday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the Department of Justice had served the central bank with subpoenas.

Markets appeared to take the news in stride, although gold and other precious metals often used as a hedge in times... Read More

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nikki Glaser went hard then eased up in her monologue to open Sunday's Golden Globes.

In her earliest jokes she suggested stars in the room might be in the Epstein Files and took a shot at CBS, the network airing the show.

“There are so many A-listers, and by A-listers, I do mean people who are on a list that has been heavily redacted," she said. “And the Golden Globe for best editing goes to the Justice Department."

She segued into mocking the recent woes at CBS News and its killing of a critical “60 Minutes” story about the... Read More

Off the ballot, Ugandan president's son waits in the wings this election

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — One figure looms large ahead of Uganda's elections Thursday, although he is not on the ballot: the president's son and military commander, Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

Kainerugaba, long believed to be the eventual successor, stood down for his father, President Yoweri Museveni, who is seeking a seventh term that would bring him closer to five decades in power.

Yet Kainerugaba, a four-star general, remains a key figure in Ugandan politics as the chief enforcer of his father’s rule in this east African country. He is the top military commander,... Read More
