‘Oppenheimer’ was the big winner at this year’s Golden Globe Awards, taking home five prizes.
The atomic bomb drama scooped the coveted Best Picture (Drama) award on Saturday (07.01.24), while there were also prizes in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories for Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. respectively, and Christopher Nolan was named Best Director.
Its fifth win came in the Best Original Score category, for which Ludwig Göransson took home the prize.
Lily Gladstone became the first Indigenous star to win the Best Actress (Drama) prize and she celebrated her “historic” victory.
Speaking on stage at Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton Hotel, she said: “This is an historic win, it doesn’t belong to just me, I’m holding it with all my beautiful sisters in the film at the table over here and my mother, standing on all of your shoulders.”
‘Poor Things’ took two awards, winning Best Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Actress (Musical or Comedy) for star Emma Stone, while ‘The Holdovers’ and ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ also did the double.
The former saw wins for Paul Giamatti, who was honoured with Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who won Best Supporting Actress, while the latter was a surprise winner of Best Screenplay and also took home Best Picture (Non-English Language).
Despite being the most nominated project with nine nods, ‘Barbie’ took home just two prizes, with one win coming in the newly-created category Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and the other going to Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, who bagged Best Original Song for ‘What Was I Made For?’ from the film’s soundtrack.
On the TV side, ‘Succession’ won four awards, including acting honours for Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen, as well as its third Best Drama Series prize.
Both ‘Beef’ and ‘The Bear’ scooped three trophies each, with the former taking Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or TV Movie and acting wins for Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, and the latter scooping the Best Musical or Comedy categories, winning overall for series and achieving recognition for stars Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri.
Former Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais wasn’t at the ceremony to accept the evening’s second new award, winning the Best Stand-Up Comedian on Television (Limited Series, Anthology Series or TV Movie) for his Netflix special ‘Armageddon’.
This year’s ceremony was hosted by comic Jo Koy.
