Results will be presented of a calculation of the transverse momentum $Q_T$ distribution for inclusive Higgs boson and Z boson production at the energy of the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The talk is based on hep-ph/0210135 by Berger and Qiu. Using an impact-parameter $b$-space formalism, we include all-orders resummation of large logarithms associated with emission of soft gluons. We provide distributions $d\sigma/dy dQ_T$ for the Z and for Higgs boson masses from $M_Z$ to 200 GeV. If time allows, a summary will also be presented of 'Higgs Boson Decay into Hadronic Jets', hep-ph/0205342, by Berger, Chiang, Jiang, Tait, and Wagner.
