Meanwhile, Lily Gladstone earned the Best Female Actor (Drama) award for her compelling performance in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. The 81st Golden Globes were held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

In a surprising turn of events, Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things emerged as the unexpected winner in the Best Comedy or Musical category, overcoming Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. Poor Things also won for Emma Stone’s performance as Bella, a Victorian woman experiencing a surreal life and sexual awakening. Billie Eilish O’Connell and Finneas O’Connell’s “What Was I Made For?” won the award for Best Song – Motion Picture, giving some respite to Barbie, which also won the first-ever Golden Globe for cinematic and box-office success.

While the American show Beef, created by Lee Sung Jin, bagged the Golden Globe for Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or Television Motion Picture, Christopher Storer’s The Bear was named Best Musical/Comedy Series.

Oppenheimer, Poor Things win major prizes at Golden Globes

Historical drama Oppenheimer and gothic comedy Poor Things earned the top honors at the Golden Globes, Hollywood's star-studded kickoff to its annual awards season.

Oppenheimer was named best movie drama by roughly 300 entertainment journalists who voted on the Globes as a part of a new organisation created after an ethics and diversity scandal.

Poor Things, starring Emma Stone as a deceased woman revived by scientists, won best movie musical or comedy, beating female-empowerment blockbuster Barbie.

In television categories, Succession was named best drama. The Bear, about the struggles of owning a restaurant, won best TV comedy.

The glitzy ceremony kicked off Hollywood's annual awards season, which culminates with the Oscars on March 10, and brought top stars together for the first time after six months of strikes by actors and writers in 2023. The event gave performers the chance to mingle and to publicize their movies and TV shows after months when red carpets and other promotion was prohibited. (Reuters)

81st Annual Golden Globe Awards Live Updates: Robert Downey Jr, Da’Vine Joy Randolph bag Best Supporting Actor awards

Oppenheimer actor Robert Downey Jr. and The Holdovers star Da'Vine Joy Randolph won early awards on Sunday at the Golden Globes, Hollywood's first big celebration since twin strikes shut down most of show business last year.

The champagne-fueled ceremony honoured the best of film and television selected by a new group of 300 entertainment journalists from around the world, part of reforms made after a diversity and ethics scandal among Globe voters.

Downey was named best supporting actor in a movie for portraying the professional nemesis of J. Robert Oppenheimer in director Christopher Nolan's drama about the making of the atomic bomb. The movie was one of last year's biggest box office hits.

"A sweeping story about the ethical dilemma of nuclear weapons grosses one billion dollars. Does that track?" Downey joked before thanking Nolan and the team behind the film.

Randolph won the Globe for supporting actress in a movie for her role of a grieving mother in "The Holdovers." She said she was grateful for the chance to portray the "beautiful and flawed woman." (Reuters)

Golden Globe Awards 2024 Live Updates: Taylor Swift has arrived!

Minutes before the 81st Golden Globes was set to start, Taylor Swift emerged on the carpet in a brilliant green sequined gown. Her attendance at the award show was the subject of much online chatter: would she attend Kansas City Chiefs’ Sunday game against the Los Angeles Chargers in LA ahead of the Golden Globe Awards, held in nearby Beverly Hills?

Her beau, Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce was ruled inactive for that final game of the regular season, and onto the carpet she went.

This year, the Globes introduced a new category, for cinematic and box office achievement which the popstar’s history-making “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” is nominated. If Swift wins, it would be her first Globe. She’s been nominated four times previously. (AP)

Where to watch the 81st Golden Globes?

Hollywood is ready to party as the Golden Globes return for its annual boozy celebration of film and television's biggest names. 

The show begins at 8 pm EST on Jan 7 (6.30 am IST on Jan 8) and will air live on both coasts on CBS, which is available with an antenna or through cable and satellite providers. It's the first time the network is airing the show since the early 1980s. Fans in India can stream the show on Lionsgate Play. 

Barbie is the top nominee this year, followed closely by Oppenheimer, reflecting the way the Globes split top film winners into two groups. Films nominated for best motion picture drama include Oppenheimer, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, Celine Song’s Past Lives, Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall and Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest.

Hello Cinephiles!

Welcome to The Indian Express. The Golden Globes have kick-started this year’s award season, with the big showdown between Greta Gerwig’s Barbie leading the charge with nine nominations and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer following closely with eight nods. Golden Globes can be streamed on Lionsgate in India.

Stay tuned as we bring you all the latest updates from the award show.

Unlike the more formal Oscars or the Baftas, the champagne-soaked Golden Globes are considered more lighthearted and relaxed, which people tune in largely for the array of actors, who wore what and the banter. However, a win at the Golden Globes 2024 will add momentum for the Oscars campaign as Academy Award voters are also finalising their nominations.

The Cecil B. DeMille Award and the Carol Burnett Award are not being given this year. Two new categories have been introduced -- the blockbuster award and one for a stand-up comedy special.
