Golden Globes 2024 winners list: ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Poor Things’ top the night – National

It was a night of glitz and glamour for Hollywood’s best movies and TV shows, along with their starring celebrities, at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.

Stars from the silver screen and TV world, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeremy Allen White, Margot Robbie and Emma Stone, were all present in the hope of winning a trophy for their performances. Even musician Taylor Swift, who was nominated for her The Eras Tour documentary, was in attendance.

Comedian and Easter Sunday star Jo Koy handled Golden Globes hosting duties this year, cracking jokes while he attempted to keep the three-hour ceremony on schedule.

The first award of the night, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role, was handed to Da’Vine Joy Randolph for her emotional portrayal of Mary Lamb in The Holdovers.

Robert Downey Jr. then took home the award’s male counterpart for Oppenheimer. He won laughs from the Golden Globes crowd with his short, snappy speech — eased by the “beta blockers” he joked about taking prior.

After a much-anticipated final season of Succession, the TV spectacle earned the Golden Globe for Best Television Series, Drama.

Matthew Macfadyen won Succession‘s first award of the night for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Television Series.

“I just adored every second playing the weird and wonderful human grease stain that is Tom Wambsgans and — Tom Wambsgans, CEO, I should say,” Macfadyen said in his speech. “God help us.”

Later, Kieran Culkin also won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Drama. Culkin told fellow nominee Pedro Pascal to playfully “suck it” during his acceptance speech. He dedicated the award to the Succession team, his agent, his wife and his mother.

Sarah Snook also won a Golden Globe for Succession. It was her second win for her role as the fierce Shiv Roy.

Newly minted heartthrob Jeremy Allen White took home his second-ever Golden Globe for The Bear. White thanked the team behind the popular Chicago-based show for his win.

“I must have done something right in this life to be in your company,” White said of his castmates.

As for the big screen, this year was all about the massively popular films, Barbie and Oppenheimer. 

Margot Robbie of Barbie lost the Best Female Actor in a Comedy award to Emma Stone for her role in Poor Things.

But Cillian Murphy came out on top for his performance as the “father of the atomic bomb” in Oppenheimer. The actor, with lipstick on his nose, praised “visionary” director Christopher Nolan and thanked him for 20 years of working together.

For the first time, the Golden Globes included an award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, which was awarded to Barbie. Robbie dedicated the award to moviegoers who dressed up in pink to see the film in theatres — and thanked Ken actor Ryan Gosling “for going full beach” in the flick.

During his Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy acceptance speech, Paul Giamatti of The Holdovers said it must be the first time the Golden Globes has given the award for the portrayal of a character who “smells like fish.” Giamatti, who plays a teacher in the film, dedicated the award to real-life educators everywhere.

However, The Holdovers lost out to Poor Things for the Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy honours.

Lily Gladstone became emotional during her winning Best Female Actor in a Drama speech. Gladstone spoke in both English and in the Indigenous Blackfoot language. She highlighted the importance of telling Indigenous stories within film and said the award is not just for her, but for all “rez kids” and the Osage nation that Killers of the Flower Moon is about.

But in the end, it was Oppenheimer that took home the Best Motion Picture, Drama award — which was presented by Oprah.
