The Golden Globe Awards kicked off the award season with a bang on Sunday night, and the list of winners is as impressive as it gets. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer dominated the motion picture field with five awards, while Succession was crowned as the biggest winner on the TV side with four trophies.

Oppenheimer came into the night with eight nominations and emerged as the main contender for best motion picture: drama. It managed to defeat the likes of Anatomy of a Fall, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, and The Zone of Interest to take this award home.

The acclaimed World War II epic came out victorious in four more categories – best director (Christopher Nolan), best original score (Ludwig Göransson), best actor in a motion picture – drama (Cillian Murphy), and best supporting actor in a motion picture (Robert Downey Jr.).

It was also a big night for the final season of HBO’s hit series Succession, which won four awards – best drama series and acting accolades for Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, and Matthew Macfadyen. The Bear and Beef were right behind with three awards each, starting with the best comedy series and best limited series, respectively.

The 2024 Golden Globes took place on January 7 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, with Jo Koy hosting the show.
