This marks a major milestone for the beloved TV icon. She’s best known for her iconic role as Carrie Bradshaw in HBO’s Sex and the City. Plus, she’s currently starring in And Just Like That…, the reboot series.
“Her storytelling has left an indelible mark on our screens and hearts everywhere.”
Why This Award Matters So Much
The Carol Burnett Award is huge. Only the most talented TV legends get this honor. Think of it as television’s lifetime achievement award. The award started in 2019 and recognizes people who’ve shaped entertainment history.
Parker joins an incredible lineup of previous winners. Ted Danson won in 2024. Before him came Ryan Murphy in 2023, Norman Lear in 2021, and Ellen DeGeneres in 2020. The award’s namesake, Carol Burnett herself, got the first one in 2019.
What makes this special? Parker gets recognized not just as an actress. Her work as an executive producer matters too. She shaped entire shows behind the scenes.
Parker’s Award-Winning Career
The numbers speak for themselves. Parker has won 6 Golden Globes total. She’s also taken home 2 Emmy Awards. She got 3 Screen Actors Guild Awards as well. Plus she earned 10 Emmy nominations for Sex and the City alone.
| Award Type | Total Wins & Nominations |
| Golden Globe Awards | 6 Wins (all for Sex and the City) |
| Emmy Awards | 2 Wins, 10 Total Nominations |
| Screen Actors Guild Awards | 3 Wins |
| Career Spanning | Acting and Executive Production |
Most of her wins came from Sex and the City. The show aired from 1998 to 2004. It became a cultural phenomenon. The series won multiple Golden Globes as best comedy drama during its run.
What The Golden Eve Special Means
Here’s something brand new. This marks the first-ever Golden Eve primetime special. What is it? It’s a new format that honors both major career achievement awards in one ceremony.
Parker’s award ceremony will also see Viola Davis receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award. Both ceremonies happen on the same night—Jan. 8, 2026. They air on CBS Television Network and stream on Paramount+.
This is a major evolution for the Golden Globes. The organization is trying something fresh. They’re expanding how they celebrate TV and film excellence. Parker and Davis get prime time treatment, which feels right.
What’s Next For Parker?
Parker remains incredibly active. She continues starring in And Just Like That… on Max. Fans still love the reboot series. It brings back the Sex and the City universe for a new generation.
The Carol Burnett Award cements her legacy. She’s not just remembered for playing Carrie. She’s recognized as a TV visionary. That distinction matters for how entertainment history will remember her.
Mark your calendars for January 8, 2026. Watch Parker take her place among television’s greatest legends.
