Golden Globes 2024 live: All the action and winners from the awards ceremony
The 81st Golden Globes Awards has wrapped up and Oppenheimer was the big winner of the night taking home the Best Motion Picture - Drama gong as well as awards for actors Robert Downey Jr and Cillian Murphy, director Christopher Nolan and composer Ludwig Goransson.
In comparison, Barbie had a lacklustre evening, winning only Best Original Song and the newly created category of Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, the latter essentially being the “you made a lot of money” award.
Poor Things won the Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical category while star Emma Stone picked up the acting gong.
The Holdovers picked up two acting awards in the Comedy or Musical category, one for lead Paul Giamatti and another for co-star Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone made history as the first Native American winner in her category, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama.
On the TV side, two Australians emerged victorious with Sarah Snook winning for her role in Succession and Elizabeth Debicki for The Crown.
Succession, Beef and The Bear locked out almost every other TV show, dominating their genre categories of Drama, Limited Series and Comedy respectively.
Follow how the ceremony unfolded below.
Oppenheimer wins Best Motion Picture - Drama
Oppenheimer wins the big one.
This has felt like an inevitability since Robert Downey Jr won at the start of the ceremony.
Producer Emma Thomas, and Christopher Nolan’s wife, said, “I have to say I’m so pleased that Chris has been acknowledged because what he does is unlike anything else is doing.
“Chris brings out the best in people by being the very best himself.”

Lily Gladstone triumphs for Killers of the Flower Moon
A very deserved win for Lily Gladstone who started her acceptance speech in a Native American dialect, Blackfeet.
The actor won for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for her role in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
She said, “I’m so grateful I can speak even a little bit of my language because in this business native actors used to speak their lines in English and sound engineers would run it backwards.
“This is a historic one, and it doesn’t just belong to me. I’m holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film at the table over here, and my mother, standing on all of your shoulders.
She added, “This is for every little res kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream and is seeing themselves represented in our stories old by ourselves, in our own words, with tremendous allies and tremendous trust from within, from each other.”

Paul Giamatti wins for The Holdovers
Paul Giamatti just got a leg-up on his Oscars campaign with a win in Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for The Holdovers.
The veteran actor plays a cranky teacher in the 1970-set drama from director Alexander Payne.
Accepting the award, Giamatti joked, “So many stairs, too many stairs, my knees are shot. Up and down all night, standing up and sitting down. I’m never going to be in John Wick 5 at this rate.”
He also thanked Alexander Payne, “Alexander the Great, who for some mysterious reason continues to have faith in me. I don’t know why.”

Succession takes out the big TV drama gong
A standing ovation for Succession which was won Best Television Series – Drama for its fourth and final season.
The series about a bruising fight for control of a family media empire closed out in 2023 with a dramatic and beloved season and it will be remembered in the annals of television as one of the best crafted shows.
Succession took out four awards at this year’s Golden Globes. It was nominated for nine awards but included multiple nods in the same category.
Creator Jesse Armstrong said ending the series was bittersweet but that accolades made it a little bit sweeter.

That makes it three gongs for the acclaimed series set in a stressful Chicago restaurant.

Beef sweeps Limited Series categories
That’s clean sweep for Beef which has won all three Golden Globes in the Limited Series categories. The Netflix miniseries just won for Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.
Stars Ali Wong and Steven Yeun were also awarded for their roles as two strangers who become entangled in an escalating feud after a road rage incident.
This bodes very well for its chances next week at the Primetime Emmy Awards.
Accepting the award, creator Lee Sung Jin joked, “This show is based on a real road rage incident that happened to me so I would be remiss to not thank that driver. Sir, I hope you honk and yell and inspire others for years to come.”
