• Dell has told its employees to expect a companywide systems overhaul in May.
• Top exec Jeff Clarke told workers it would be the “biggest transformation” in its 42-year history.
• Read Clarke’s full memo to Dell employees telling them what will be changing at the company.

If you work at Dell, get ready for big changes in 2026.

The company is planning to roll out standardized processes across its operations and launch a single enterprise platform on May 3, Jeff Clarke, Dell’s chief operating officer and vice chairman, said in a memo sent to the workforce on Tuesday, and seen by Business Insider.

In the memo, Clarke said the changes constitute the “biggest transformation in company history.”

The modernization push, which the company has called One Dell Way, will “connect our data, break down silos, streamline our software applications and give us the foundation to work as one connected company,” said Clarke.

It will replace Dell’s existing sprawl of applications, servers, and databases, and deliver “seamless data flow, fewer repetitive tasks, faster decision-making and more time for work that drives real impact,” Clarke said.

The vice chairman, who has recently taken a more active role in Dell’s day-to-day operations, said that the changes are a key enabler of Dell’s modernization.

For years, the company has built multiple variations of tools used for fundamental processes, such as developing and selling, Clarke said in the memo.

“That won’t cut it in an AI-driven world. We need one way —simplified, standardized, and automated — so we can be more competitive and serve our customers better,” Clarke said.

Simplifying the underlying infrastructure is a crucial part of unlocking AI’s future potential: no matter how much companies spend on flashy AI tools, they won’t deliver speed or scale if the data behind them remains fragmented.

One Dell Way is “foundational to our success in an AI-driven world,” Clarke said.

A company spokesperson told Business Insider that “One Dell Way is a transformation initiative designed to simplify processes, standardize systems, and use automation to create a more connected and efficient organization.”

‘Be ready’

Rather than a gradual transition, the new operating system will kick in on a single crossover date, May 3, for Dell’s PC business — known as the CSG division — as well as for finance, supply chain, marketing, sales, revenue operations, services, and HR operations, according to Clarke’s memo.

Dell’s ISG division, which handles its cloud offering, data servers, and other AI infrastructure, will follow in August, Clarke said.

The vice chairman told employees to “be ready” for the change.

“Training is critical,” and should be a priority once training opens on February 3, Clarke said.

Business Insider previously reported that Dell has been running a secretive, multi-year internal project, codenamed “Maverick,” for which staff had signed NDAs to work on. It was initially scheduled to launch for parts of the company in February 2026, but was pushed back to May.

Dell’s current modernization drive comes 42 years after Michael Dell founded the company as a freshman at the University of Texas.

Dell has since expanded into AI and cloud infrastructure, gone private, and then returned to public markets, and pulled off the second-largest tech merger ever with its $67 billion purchase of EMC in 2016 — but, as Clarke said in the memo, the coming changes are Dell’s biggest shake-up yet.

Read Clarke’s full memo to Dell employees here:

Team,

Our industry is moving faster than ever, and we’ve spent the past two years modernizing how Dell works so we can move even faster—simplifying and standardizing processes, eliminating inefficiencies and improving our tools and applications. That’s <One Dell Way>.

Now we’re taking the next major step in this journey: rolling out standardized processes and an enterprise platform that will connect our data, break down silos, streamline our software applications and give us the foundation to work as one connected company.

We’ll begin operating in this new way on May 3, starting with CSG, Finance, Supply Chain, Marketing, Sales, RevOps, Services and HR operations. ISG follows in August.

For years, our strong functional orientation meant we built many variations of fundamental processes—multiple ways to develop, multiple ways to market, multiple ways to sell, multiple ways to service.

That won’t cut it in an AI-driven world. We need one way—simplified, standardized and automated—so we can be more competitive and serve our customers better.

This requires a mindset shift, from thinking and operating function-first to company-first. In some cases, that may mean we may make a choice that isn’t optimal for a particular function, but it speeds up decision-making or improves quality for the company as a whole. That’s the trade-off, and it’s the right one. We’re optimizing for Dell, not for individual functions.

What’s Changing

Standardized processes and an enterprise platform mean no more workarounds, no holding onto old ways of working. Instead, we get seamless data flow, fewer repetitive tasks, faster decision-making and more time for work that drives real impact.

This is a comprehensive change, not a gradual transition. Once we start operating in the new way on May 3, we won’t go back.

The degree of change will vary by team and role. Some of you will experience significant shifts in how you work day-to-day. For others, the changes will be minimal. But all of us need to understand what’s happening and support each other through it.

If your work spans both CSG and ISG, you’ll navigate the new processes and applications for CSG, and legacy systems for ISG until August. You’ll learn more in training.

What This Takes

Learning new systems and new ways of working isn’t easy, especially when you’re already moving fast. Here’s my ask of you:

• Stay curious and open-minded as you learn new ways of working.
• Disrupt yourself. Break free from the old way of doing things.
• Embrace standardization. It makes us faster and better.
• Operate with a sense of urgency. Speed matters more than ever in the AI era.

Be Ready

Training is critical. You can’t operate in the new system without it, no exceptions. Training opens February 3, and you’ll get an email that day with your personalized information. Please make it a priority.

This is the biggest transformation in company history. I know there will be challenges, and that’s OK—we’re here to support you and work through this together. Your leader will keep you updated as we move through training and launch.

This is foundational to our success in an AI-driven world, and One Dell Way is how we get there—working as one company, with one set of processes, focused on what matters most.

Let’s lean in, learn as we go and build a better company together.

• Chair Jerome Powell released a rare video after he said the Fed had received grand jury subpoenas.
• The video format made his message more visceral, a communications professor said.
• Powell’s selective response showed he’s willing to make a stand on significant topics.

Jerome Powell broke his silence on Sunday — this time on camera.

In a rare move, the Federal Reserve Chair released a video message after he said the central bank had received grand jury subpoenas that could lead to a criminal indictment.

Powell said the subpoenas related to his June testimony about renovation projects at the Fed’s offices, and Trump’s administration used the move as pressure to lower interest rates.

Former Fed chairs and several business leaders have responded critically to the news, and Trump has denied knowledge of the DOJ investigation. For Powell, who rarely reacts to Trump, the public response — and the video format itself — sent a signal.

Powell has typically avoided responding publicly to Trump’s attacks, reinforcing the image of the Fed’s independence. Opting to make a video statement was a way to project calm, while signaling the stakes of the situation, said communications and leadership experts.

Here are three reasons Powell’s video was a power move:

Videos are easier to share

In the roughly two-minute-long video, Powell emphasized what he said was driving the DOJ probe.

“This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions, or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation,” Powell said.

His message has already amassed more than 875,000 views on YouTube in under 24 hours. In an age of social media virality, the video format allows him to control the narrative with no intermediary. It also lets him keep up with Trump, who is especially active on social media.

Powell was smart to opt for a video instead of a written statement, in part because news and social media are increasingly visually oriented, Matthew Lombard, chair of the Department of Media Studies and Production at Temple University, said in an email to Business Insider. Journalists and commentators are more likely to use material that comes with images and video, he said.

“Video, especially when the person directly addresses the camera as he did, is more likely to evoke a sense of presence,” Lombard said. That makes it more likely the message will land, he said.

It delivers a “visceral, ‘he’s talking to me’ perception,” Lombard said.

Chelsea Butkowski, an assistant professor of communication at American University, told Business Insider that Powell’s decision to release a short video made it more likely to be shared on platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok.

It showcased his measured communication style

Powell’s steady eye contact and a consistent tone of voice will likely help capture viewers’ attention and also underscore his authority, said Butkowski.

While he makes a firm statement, he keeps it short and to the point. Powell’s delivery communicates his independence and measured demeanor in a time of chaos.

“He’s really projecting a sense of stability; a sense of strength here,” she said.

It shows the gravity of the situation

Given that Powell has built a reputation for not responding to Trump’s insults, his selective responsiveness sends a message that this is a significant issue for him.

Where he filmed the video also matters, says Butkowski. She said that Powell’s decision to record the video before a blue curtain with the US flag in the background was likely designed to evoke tradition, while reaching the public in a modern, direct way.

By choosing to publish a video, Powell also made his message more personal. He showed viewers that he’s confident, calm, and not intimidated by Trump’s threats, she said.

“He’s essentially saying, ‘I’m establishment. I’ve been here through various administrations, and this one is not going to change the way that I communicate,'” Butkowski said.

• Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a new “top-level” initiative called Meta Compute.
• Zuckerberg said Meta aims to build “hundreds of gigawatts or more” of capacity over time.
• Meta executives Santosh Janardhan and Daniel Gross will lead the effort.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Monday that the company is launching a new “top-level” initiative called Meta Compute, as it pours more money into the data centers and infrastructure powering its AI push.

Zuckerberg said Meta plans to build “tens of gigawatts” of capacity this decade and “hundreds of gigawatts or more” over time.

“How we engineer, invest, and partner to build this infrastructure will become a strategic advantage,” Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post.

The move signals that Zuckerberg views AI infrastructure as a key competitive advantage and is placing it under a dedicated unit that reports directly to him. Meta has said it plans to invest $600 billion in US infrastructure and jobs, including AI data centers, by 2028.

The Department of Energy provides a few handy comparisons for the amount of power in one gigawatt: It’s roughly half the output of the Hoover Dam, or the power of 2,627 Tesla Model 3s. Famously, the DeLorean, the iconic time machine in “Back To The Future Part II,” needed 1.21 gigawatts to travel through time.

Santosh Janardhan, the company’s head of infrastructure, and Daniel Gross, who joined Meta last year from AI startup Safe Superintelligence, will lead the new Meta Compute initiative.

The two executives will work closely with Dina Powell McCormick, Meta’s newly appointed president and vice chairperson, who will focus on partnering with governments and sovereign entities to help build and finance infrastructure. Powell McCormick is a former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump and spent 16 years at Goldman Sachs.

Meta did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

• Dr. Reg Haid, a neurosurgeon, owns two Svalinn protection dogs.
• He spent $75,000 on his first and paid extra for the pick of the litter for his second.
• He says the dogs are very emotionally intelligent, which creates deep bonds.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Dr. Reg Haid. It has been edited for length and clarity.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, my wife, Mary Ellen, and I were without a dog. That was unusual for us: Mary Ellen grew up with German Shepherds. I’d always had sporting dogs — labs and spaniels that could hunt with me. My last dog was a 25-pound Boykin Spaniel who was beautiful, but not very smart.

We have a property in Montana, so we had heard of Svalinn, a high-end protection dog breeder, and were accustomed to seeing the dogs around. One day, Mary Ellen suggested we go take a look at Svalinn. I told her, “I’m not getting one of those dogs.”

As a doctor, I’ve stitched up kids with dog bites. In the military, I saw how fearsome dogs can be. I didn’t want an aggressive dog. Yet, I went along to the Svalinn ranch because Mary Ellen asked me to.

When we got there, one of the dogs came up, kissed me, and put his head in my lap. That’s when I started to change my mind.

I don’t spend on cars or clothes, but the dogs are worth their price

We left, but I couldn’t get that dog out of my head. felt he had real intellect, which gave him the ability to connect with me emotionally. I needed him, especially during the lonely days of the pandemic.

Mary Ellen and I spent $75,000 on that dog, Elias, who is now 8. The Svalinn team brought him to our cabin for Christmas, and he was loving, gentle, and playful with our children and grandchildren. He immediately became part of the family. I was so smitten that I paid extra — $125,000, at the time — to get the pick of the next litter. Our second Svalinn dog, Rooster, is 4.

I’m embarrassed to say how much I spent on the dogs. I grew up very poor, on a West Virginia farm with no plumbing or heat. I couldn’t fathom spending six figures on a dog. However, I’ve been very fortunate in life to have achieved financial success, first as a neurosurgeon and now as a consultant to a medical device manufacturer. I have the financial means, and the value propositions of these dogs are just amazing. I drive a Ford truck and don’t spend money on fancy clothes, but I’m glad I spend it on my dogs.

The dogs offer protection, especially for my wife

As a man, I don’t worry much about my safety. The one time I’ve felt protected by my dogs was during one of our frequent hikes in Montana. They started acting alert. I didn’t wait to find out what was going on — I just got out of there.

Mary Ellen really appreciates having the dogs as deterrents and protection. I travel for work, and she never worries about being home alone with Elias and Rooster sleeping in our room. I’ve noticed that if something startles Mary Ellen, the dogs become very attentive and engaged.

When Elias was delivered, Mary Ellen and I did two days of work with Svalinn trainers, where we learned how to handle him. I work with them daily to keep them up to date with their commands, and we return to the Svalinn ranch at least once a year to work with their trainers. It’s an awesome couple of hours learning together. These dogs don’t just require a financial investment; they also require an emotional and time investment.

It’s hard to explain how special these dogs are

As an equestrian, there’s a feeling when you’re riding a really intelligent horse that’s transcendent. That’s the closest I can come to describing the value of Svalinn dogs. Quite frankly, there’s an emotional connection that I didn’t anticipate. I never knew I could love a dog so much.

If I had read this five years ago, I would have thought, “This guy’s crazy.” I know how it sounds, but Elias and Rooster are just different. They have all of the benefits of having a dog with none of the inconvenience: no barking or misbehavior. The intellect and emotional intelligence they have are worth every penny.

• Oscar Rachmansky grew OS Group into a $40 million B2B sneaker wholesaler by 2025.
• OS Group thrived during market downturns by targeting inefficiencies in sneaker supply chains.
• Rachmansky aims to expand OS Group beyond footwear into full-service B2B industry solutions.

Whenever an idea pops into Oscar Rachmansky’s head, he whips out a notebook or whatever scrap of paper is closest and writes it down. It’s a habit you might expect from a Gen Xer or elder millennial clinging to analog comfort. Rachmansky is neither.

He’s 24, and the company he founded about five years ago generated $40 million in sales revenue in 2025 (confirmed from documents reviewed by Business Insider).

Going against the grain is kind of Rachmansky’s thing.

When he was 4, he opened a sunflower seed stand while the other kids sold lemonade. As a teenager, he dropped out of college to pursue a business opportunity that he’s since developed into a multimillion-dollar company.

Rachmansky launched OS Group in 2019, before he’d turned 20. The company is a B2B wholesaler of branded footwear and streetwear that he bootstrapped from the ground up, he said.

What started with sneaker sales out of his bedroom has turned into a team of 30 employees distributing about 25,000 items a month from a large New Jersey warehouse. Rachmansky says he always thought he’d run his own business someday. He just didn’t expect it to involve so many sneakers.

The business opportunity that no one saw

Growing up, Rachmansky was a sports kid who imagined himself running a sports agency one day. “I certainly wasn’t at all interested in fashion, sneakers, or anything of the sort,” he told Business Insider.

Still, he began buying and selling sneakers in high school as a side hustle. As he learned the resale market, one thing stood out. “No one was paying attention to the B2B side of this industry,” he said. “And that’s what powers the entire market.”

He launched his B2B company shortly after enrolling at McGill University. His first resale client quickly revealed how fragmented the supply chain was, with retailers jumping through hoops just to source inventory, he said. The inefficiency was obvious. So was the scale.

Then COVID-19 hit. The resale market froze. Rachmansky said he wasn’t making any money and briefly considered walking away. “I was like, well, maybe it wasn’t meant to be, maybe I should just keep studying and figure out what happens.”

College, however, never felt like the long-term plan. Within his first month at McGill, he said he opened his notebook and wrote a prediction: “This is going to be my first and last year of college.”

By 2021, the business had gone from cold to hot. Pandemic-era supply-chain disruptions created one of the lowest sneaker production years in recent memory. At the same time, resale prices for brands like Nike, Jordan, and Adidas soared to two or three times retail.

Rachmansky dropped out of McGill and reinvested the roughly $30,000 he’d earned from his sneaker side hustle into expanding OscarSoles — now OS Group. “I knew that the industry was growing, and I just wanted to go all in,” he said.

From humble beginnings to multimillions

At first, the company operated with more hustle than infrastructure.

“The first warehouse that we had, we didn’t even have offices,” said Isaac Murov, one of OS Group’s original employees, who joined the company in 2021. “We actually made cubicles out of Nike Air Force boxes, so we could have a little bit of privacy,” he added.

Murov met Rachmansky through a mutual friend, and the two hit it off quickly. “He was always a very bright individual, and I think I gravitated toward him for that exact reason,” Murov said.

Even as the resale market cooled after the pandemic, OS Group continued to grow. Rachmansky credits his team above all else. “We’ve been really, really intentional with our hiring,” he said, focusing on people with good attitudes who are coachable and fast.

That growth came with its own learning curve, though. For the first several years, Rachmansky said, he worked 15-hour days. “I’ve always kind of associated output with input — more hours equals better output,” he said. Eventually, however, he learned that working harder wasn’t always the same as working smarter. An early focus on hiring people who added value and growth to the team helped him see that.

The company’s hustle culture was also shaped early on by Rachmansky’s willingness to do whatever the job required. “He always led by example,” Murov said. “Whether that was hacking boxes in the back, he was never really above that.”

Today, Rachmansky wants to take OS Group beyond footwear and past pure transaction volume. His goal is to turn the company into a long-term operating partner, offering services like financing, logistics, and software using the infrastructure OS Group has already built internally. “We really see ourselves as growing into a real operating partner for this industry,” he said, with the ambition of building “the entire B2B ecosystem.”

Rachmansky no longer works 15-hour days and says he has a better work-life balance. “A fear that motivates me is not being able to do everything that I want to do with my life,” Rachmansky said, adding that he hopes to travel more in the future. “My dream day 10 years from now is probably waking up somewhere that I wasn’t the week before.”

• The 2026 Golden Globes were held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Sunday.
• Behind-the-scenes photos offer a glimpse at what the Globes were like for the A-list attendees.
• Photographers captured stars celebrating their wins and sharing kisses with their partners.

Awards season is heating up, and the 2026 Golden Globes didn’t disappoint.

Stars gathered at the Beverly Hilton in their red-carpet best — and worst — for the awards that celebrate the standout film and television of the year.

The live show saw Nikki Glaser, who hosted for the second year in a row, poke fun at everything from Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating history to CBS News in her opening monologue. “The Pitt” and “One Battle After Another” led the charge in award wins for the night, though Timothée Chalamet and Jessie Buckley took home trophies for “Marty Supreme” and “Hamnet.”

The show was definitely fun to watch, but behind-the-scenes, candid shots of the Golden Globes offer a more intimate view of the glamorous evening, from A-list meetups to celebrity kisses.

Take a look at some of the best photos you might have missed from the 2026 Golden Globes.

Timothée Chalamet seemed to be having a blast at the Golden Globes.

Chalamet, who won the Golden Globe for best actor in a drama for his performance in “Marty Supreme,” was photographed laughing mid-ceremony.

His partner, Kylie Jenner, accompanied him and sported an equally big smile.

Creator, showrunner, and executive producer R. Scott Gemmill wasn’t afraid to celebrate when “The Pitt” won for best drama series.

After he accepted the award for the medical drama, Gemmill let out a yell of excitement and held up his award backstage.

Noah Wyle, who won the Golden Globe for best actor for the show, and Dakota Fanning, who presented the award, grinned alongside him.

Erin Doherty had a sillier reaction to winning a Golden Globe.

Doherty took home the Golden Globe for best supporting female actor in a TV show for her performance in “Adolescence.”

She appeared to be giddy about her award, sticking out her tongue and pointing to the statue backstage.

Rose Byrne couldn’t seem to believe she was taking a Golden Globe home.

Byrne was awarded a Golden Globe for her performance in “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.”

When she was photographed getting her name engraved on the award, her mouth was still open in shock.

Other winners, like Teyana Taylor, celebrated with their costars.

“One Battle After Another” costars Chase Infiniti and Teyana Taylor held up the paper that said Taylor won for best supporting female actor for the film in this sweet shot.

Infiniti, who was nominated for best female actor in the film, looked elated for her costar.

“Hamnet” costars Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal were caught giggling together.

After “Hamnet” won the Golden Globe for best motion picture — drama, Buckley and Mescal embraced and laughed together as they walked backstage.

Buckley also won the Golden Globe for best female actor in a drama for her performance in the film.

Other costars, like Hailee Steinfeld and Wunmi Mosaku, celebrated real-life milestones together.

The cast of “Sinners” was spotted together throughout the Golden Globes, and cast members Delroy Lindo, Steinfeld, Mosaku, and Miles Caton posed for a photo together.

Steinfeld and Mosaku both cradled their baby bumps in the shot.

Some costars got silly together at the Golden Globes, including Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.

The “Heated Rivalry” stars presented at their first Golden Globes on Sunday, but they also found time to pose with oversize bottles of Moët Champagne together.

Although it’s an awards show, the Golden Globes also gave celebrity pals like Jennifer Lawrence and Kylie Jenner a chance to catch up.

Lawrence was nominated for her performance in “Die My Love” at the 2026 Golden Globes, while Jenner was Chalamet’s date for the evening.

The pair laughed and spoke together, with Jenner leaning forward to embrace Lawrence.

The friends also posed for a chic photo together.

The stars looked over their shoulders for the photo, showing off the detailing on the backs of their gowns.

Jenner posed for a similar photo with Elle Fanning at the 2025 Golden Globes.

Kate Hudson seemed to take her buddy Leonardo DiCaprio off guard.

Hudson and DiCaprio were both nominated as lead actors at the 2026 Golden Globes: Hudson for “Song Sung Blue” and DiCaprio for “One Battle After Another.”

Hudson came to greet DiCaprio at the show, reaching for him from behind with a smile. The actor grinned up at her, putting a hand to his mouth.

Julia Roberts also shared a laugh with DiCaprio.

The pair stood together in the crowded room, laughing with big smiles.

Roberts was nominated for her performance in “After the Hunt” at the Golden Globes.

Roberts, Martin Short, and George Clooney were all laughs as they spent time together.

Short gave Clooney a tight hug, and both men laughed as they embraced. Roberts laughed and smiled in their direction as she sat nearby.

Like Roberts, Clooney and Short were also nominated on Sunday. Short was nominated for “Only Murders in the Building,” and Clooney was up for an award for his performance in “Jay Kelly.”

Clooney also posed for a photo with his wife.

Amal Clooney accompanied her husband to the Golden Globes, and the pair leaned together to take a sweet photo during the ceremony.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got cozy for their own photo.

Blanco took advantage of the strapless neckline of his wife’s Chanel gown, kissing her shoulder as she grinned for a picture.

Gomez was nominated for “Only Murders in the Building” at the Golden Globes.

Celebrity exes were also photographed mingling at the awards ceremony.

Miley Cyrus and “The White Lotus” actor Patrick Schwarzenegger were spotted hugging at the Golden Globes. Cyrus smiled as they embraced.

Cyrus, who was nominated for her song “Dream As One” from “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” and Schwarzenegger briefly dated in late 2014 and early 2015. The pair seemed to be on good terms despite their romantic history, based on their Golden Globes squeeze.

Cyrus is engaged to musician Maxx Morando, while Schwarzenegger is married to model Abby Champion.

Unexpected celebrity groupings appeared to be having a blast together.

Kevin Hart, Seth Rogen, and Michael B. Jordan chatted and laughed together during the ceremony.

All three were nominated at the event, with Rogen winning for best actor in a comedy series for “The Studio.” Hart was nominated for his comedy special, and Jordan was nominated for his double performance in “Sinners.”

Jacob Elordi made Teyana Taylor laugh.

The “Frankenstein” actor and Taylor were photographed talking for a while at the Golden Globes, and at one point in their chat, Elordi made Taylor laugh so hard she covered her mouth and doubled over.

Elordi was nominated for both his performance in “Frankenstein” and the limited series “The Narrow Road to the Deep North.”

The Golden Globes also gave peers, such as Ryan Coogler and Guillermo del Toro, the chance to talk.

The directors, who were nominated for “Sinners” and “Frankenstein” respectively, posed for a photo as they chatted at the show.

Rhea Seehorn and Ayo Edebiri smiled for a photo together.

Seehorn won the Golden Globe for best actor for the series “Pluribus,” and Edebiri was nominated for her performance in “The Bear.”

The actors took a break from the ceremony’s fanfare to talk and take photos together.

Old pals Rashida Jones and Maya Rudolph made time for a hug at the Golden Globes.

The comedians embraced at the Golden Globes, with Rudolph closing her eyes and leaning into the moment.

Rudolph was supporting her partner, Paul Thomas Anderson, at the event, while Jones was nominated for best female actor in a limited series for “Black Mirror.”

Unexpected pair Steven Spielberg and Ariana Grande also shared a sweet hug.

The legendary director and the “Wicked: For Good” star chatted at the show, sharing a sweet hug as cameras documented the unlikely moment.

Grande was nominated for her performance as Glinda in “Wicked: For Good.”

A shot of Keegan-Michael Key and Mila Kunis offered a glimpse at what it’s like backstage at the Golden Globes for presenters.

Before they presented an award together, Kunis and Key sat in directors’ chairs and watched the Golden Globes on a screen.

Key held the envelope that listed the winner of the best animated film category. It was a peek into the calm before the glitz and glamour of being onstage at the Golden Globes.

The cameras captured beautiful moments between celebrity couples.

“The Pitt” star Noah Wyle and his wife, Sara Wells, turned back to smile for a photo before heading into the Golden Globes.

The couple exuded Old Hollywood glamour as they posed for the photo, a fitting start to an evening that ended with Wyle leaving with two Golden Globes.

They also captured intimate moments between A-list stars at one of Hollywood’s biggest events.

Jenner and Chalamet were cozy much of the night, sneaking hugs and kisses as they spoke to other Golden Globes attendees.

Photographers captured one smooch between the couple, with Chalamet, who thanked Jenner in his Golden Globes acceptance speech, leaning in to kiss his partner.
