Not only did Noah Wyle win big at the 2026 Golden Globes on Sunday night, he also won big with his kids.
*The Pitt* star took to social media to share his celebration after nabbing awards for Best Performance by an Actor in a Drama Series and Best Television Series — Drama. Wyle posted a photo of his Best Actor statuette to his Instagram page, showcasing it beside another monumental trophy fashioned similarly: his Best Dad Award.
"What an incredible night," Wyle captioned the sweet post. "My heart is full."
Wyle is (the best) dad to son Owen, 23, and daughter Auden, 21, whom he shares with ex Tracy Warbin, and daughter Frances, 10, with his wife, Sara Wyle. Sara commented on the post, writing, "The best ever," with a string of red heart emojis, proving that Wyle's kids weren't his only fans in their household.

And it truly was an incredible night for the 54-year-old actor. Wyle was visibly emotional when he went onstage to accept the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Drama Series, and his acceptance speech was appropriately tear-worthy.
"What a truly humbling moment this is. Oh, my goodness. I'm so incredibly grateful, and I don't know how to say all my gratitude for 54 years in 60 seconds," Wyle began. "I'm indebted to so many people. I've been inspired by so many people, many of whom I've got the great honor of being nominated with this evening."
He continued, sharing that he "was raised in a family that put a high priority on art and on curiosity and on service" before thanking healthcare workers.

"I've benefited from incredible teachers and I've received some incredible advice from some very good friends," Wyle said. "I've been supported by an incredible wife and three great children all along the way. I'm so grateful for this. ...And to all the healthcare workers in the world, thank you."
Concluding his speech, Wyle turned the topic back onto his wife before he left the stage. "Lastly, to my beautiful wife, Sara, happy birthday. I hope you're enjoying your party."
We have to respect a husband that manages to make the entire Golden Globes all about his wife's birthday.

Season 2 of everyone’s favorite medical drama premiered Jan. 8, picking up 10 months after the freshman installment and starting off the morning of a sure-to-be-busy Fourth of July shift.
'The Pitt' stars react to season 2 premiere, from Dana and Langdon’s returns to abandoned baby cliffhanger

And as Wyle previously told **, fans can expect plenty of fireworks-related injuries. "Fireworks, alcohol-related accidents, bad judgments, celebrations gone awry," said the actor. "And like on any Fourth of July, they start being one type of case, and over the course of the day, you get a higher acuity of cases coming in as people get more inebriated or take bigger chances or start dealing with more pyrotechnics."
Much of the show's award-winning ensemble returns for the second season, along with newcomers Sepideh Moafi as Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi, who will cover Dr. Robby's attending position when he goes on sabbatical, and Laëtitia Hollard as Emma, a fresh-faced nurse who crosses paths with Dana, the charge nurse who was attacked by a patient in season 1.
New episodes of *The Pitt* air Thursdays on HBO Max.**
