The 81st Golden Globe Awards ceremony took place last night, with “Oppenheimer” emerging as a clear winner, securing five awards, including Best Motion Picture Drama.

Meanwhile, “Poor Things,” a creative reimagining of Frankenstein, took home the award for Best Motion Picture, Musical, or Comedy.

On the television front, “Succession” dominated, winning four awards, including Best Drama Series. Other remarkable winners included “The Bear” for Best Comedy Series and “Beef” for Best Limited Series, with standout performances recognized from actors like Lily Gladstone, Emma Stone, and Paul Giamatti.

This year’s ceremony marked a new chapter for the Golden Globes, following a period of reforms and controversies surrounding diversity and ethical issues within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The introduction of new categories, including Best Blockbuster and Best Stand-up Comedy Special, added a fresh twist to the proceedings. Comedian Jo Koy hosted the event, which aired on CBS, leaving many to wonder if this year’s winners will go on to achieve similar success at the Oscars.
