‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Barbie’ and ‘Poor Things’ Win at the 2024 Golden Globes
Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph took home expected trophies for ‘The Holdovers’, while the TV side of the awards ceremony offered up few surprises.

The 81st Golden Globe Awards will air January 7th, 2024 at 5:00 PM PST on CBS.
Preview:
- ‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Barbie’, ‘Poor Things’ and ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ all won at the Golden Globes.
- On the TV section, ‘Succession’ and ‘The Bear’ were the big winners.
- The show struggled to reach past glories.
If you were looking for dramatic surprises at this year’s Golden Globe awards, which has somewhat distanced itself from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organization as much about damage control as it is journalism after a variety of scandals and controversies surrounding it, you would be disappointed. Except perhaps that ‘Barbie’ only took home two awards.
It was definitely ‘Oppenheimer’s night, not only notching the first directing Golden Globe (following six nominations) for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor (drama) for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Original Score and Best Picture (Drama).
‘The Holdovers’, ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ and ‘Barbie’ won two awards each, with the year’s biggest hit making do with an original song for Billie Eilish and Finneas’ “What was I Made For?” and the new, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement gong.
The small screen awards were even less of a shock –– ‘Succession’ and ‘The Bear’ gobbled up the lion’s share of trophies, while Netflix’s ‘Beef’ had a good night, taking home Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television, with awards for stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong. The latter is the first actress of Asian descent to win in her category (Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television).
Here are the full film and TV winners…
