The Bear squad turned the 2026 Golden Globes into their own private game night. Ayo Edebiri shared a behind-the-scenes recap Jan. 12 showing how she and castmates Jeremy Allen White, Lionel Boyce and Abby Elliott kept the mood light inside the Beverly Hilton.
Bingo Behind the Ballots
One photo shows five completed Bingo cards spread across the ceremony table. White crossed off “Leonardo DiCaprio dating joke,” referencing host Nikki Glaser’s quip about the actor’s dating history. Boyce ticked “Jacob Elordi is tall” and “Movie industry’s dying joke,” proving the group came prepared to spot the night’s running gags.
Fashion and Food
Edebiri arrived in a sculptural off-the-shoulder black gown by Matthieu Blazy. After losing Best Female Actor in a Television Series – Musical/Comedy to Jean Smart, she closed the night with a short stack of late-night buttermilk pancakes, captured in a second Instagram slide.
Family Affair
The 30-year-old previously told The Times in 2024, “I call the whole cast and crew family because it really feels like a family endeavour.” The Bingo game offered more proof: the foursome laughed through the telecast instead of watching rivals accept trophies.
Star-Studded Winners
Timothée Chalamet, Rose Byrne, Teyana Taylor and Owen Cooper all took home statuettes, while Jennifer Lopez and host Nikki Glaser drew fashion headlines across the ballroom.

- The Bear ensemble stayed playful, turning awards-show clichés into a competitive card game
- Edebiri’s post underscores the cast’s off-screen chemistry that fans love on-screen
