The 83rd Golden Globe Awards saw a massive cross-cultural moment tonight as global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas and K-pop superstar Lisa (Lalisa Manobal) took the stage together. The duo appeared to present the award for Best Actor in a TV Series – Drama, but they managed to steal the spotlight long before the winner was even announced.
A witty introduction and a winning duo
Host Nikki Glaser introduced the pair with one of her signature sharp jokes, quipping, “One was in The White Lotus and one wed the white Nick Jonas.” The joke landed well with the audience as Priyanka and Lisa arrived on stage smiling. While Priyanka is a veteran of the Globes, having previously presented in 2017, this marked a big night for Lisa, who recently made her own acting debut in the 2025 season of HBO’s The White Lotus.
Priyanka greeted the crowd, stating they were honored to be there, while Lisa took a moment to praise the incredible talent nominated in the category. The nominees included heavy hitters like Sterling K. Brown, Diego Luna, Gary Oldman, Mark Ruffalo, and Adam Scott.
Noah Wyle takes the Top TV Honor
The night ultimately belonged to Noah Wyle, whom the duo announced as the winner for his work in the medical drama The Pitt. Wyle, who also serves as executive producer on the show, accepted the trophy from Priyanka. The Pitt has become a massive critical success since its January 2025 premiere, already having swept five trophies at the Emmy Awards.
Red Carpet glamour and viral moments
Earlier in the evening, Priyanka turned heads on the red carpet alongside her husband, Nick Jonas. She wore a striking custom Dior Haute Couture gown designed by Jonathan Anderson, accessorized with high-end Bvlgari jewelry. The couple provided one of the night’s most talked-about “viral” moments when Nick was spotted carefully fixing Priyanka’s hair for the cameras, proving they are still one of Hollywood’s favorite pairs.
With her role as a presenter and her glamorous red-carpet appearance, Priyanka ensured that India had a significant presence at the ceremony, even in a year where no Indian projects were up for nominations.
