Golden Globes 2024 winners: Oppenheimer, Beef, The Bear, Succession dominate

The Golden Globes finally happened, after a long period of uncertainty due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. 

2023 was a seriously strong year in both movies and TV, and it seems like there was some intense competition in every category from Best Drama Motion Picture right to Best Original Song. Oppenheimer emerged the most victorious at the ceremony, taking home five prizes and beating out closest competitor Barbie, which won two (along with Poor Things, The Holdovers, and Anatomy of a Fall). On the TV side, Succession took home an impressive four trophies for its final season, followed by The Bear and the history-making Beef with three each.

Diving into the winners, HELLO!'s Los Angeles correspondent Rebecca Lewis said: "The 2024 awards season has kicked off and instead of clarifying the critics opinions, it seems the race is more open than ever before. Barbie was the big loser of the night; Billie Eilish picked up the Best Original Song award for What Was I Made For, while the films crew took home the brand new Cinematic Achievement award (thought to be Taylor Swift's only for the superstar to be pipped by another tall blonde who has taken over the world)

"But there was no acting, writing or directing gongs for the team, leaving them scrambling to get back into the race. Paul Giamatti's win for The Holdovers was a pleasant surprise, and hints that the Best Actor competition now may be solely between him and Cillian Murphy who took home Best Actor- Drama. For the ladies, Emma Stone now appears to be a frontrunner after taking Best Actress-- Comedy over Barbie's Margot Robbie, while KOTFM's Lily Gladstone's win gets her back into the conversation. One weekend down, and 11 more to go, we wouldn't rule out Barbie and Margot entirely, but after tonight it will be interesting to see where the Critics Choice Awards land next week."
