The 81st Golden Globes kicked off the 2024 awards season with a bang, as the biggest box office hits of the past year, Barbie and Oppenheimer, went head-to-head. The Margot Robbie-led Barbie, with its nine nominations, was the second most-nominated film in the award show’s history. Oppenheimer, on the other hand, secured eight nods.
By the end of the evening, Oppenheimer had the edge, taking home not only Best Motion Picture – Drama but also Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey, Jr., and Best Score for Ludwig Göransson. This gives the movie an edge as awards season looks ahead to the Oscars in March.
In TV, Succession cemented its place as one of the greatest modern dramas with its final season on HBO, becoming the most-nominated television show of the night, and took home the top prize for TV drama.
The first award of the night was for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture. Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who has received high acclaim for her performance in The Holdovers, took home the award.
Lily Gladstone made history at the Golden Globes and was the first Native American woman to win an award in the Best Actress category, for playing the lead role in Killers of the Flower Moon . At the beginning of her acceptance speech, she spoke in the Blackfoot language and recognized the historical significance of her win. “I am so honored to have been entrusted with this story that belongs to the Osage nation, and so deeply grateful to the Golden Globes for seeing me, and our film which means so much to Native American and Indigenous people around the world。” she said in her speech.
The Golden Globes are the first major televised awards ceremony of the season, and they can set the tone for the performance of the Academy Awards，including Oscars.
