Golden Globes 2024: How Oppenheimer and Succession stole the show
Oppenheimer emerged as the dominant force at the Golden Globe Awards, securing five accolades, including the coveted top prize. Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr received recognition for their exceptional performances, with Christopher Nolan clinching the award for best director. The film's success was further underscored as it won best drama film.
In the realm of television, Succession took the spotlight, garnering the most wins in the TV categories following its acclaimed fourth and final season. Meanwhile, Barbie made history by winning the inaugural box office achievement award, a testament to its global earnings of $1.4 billion (£1.13 billion).
Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, and Poor Things each secured two wins, while Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon earned a noteworthy accolade. Lily Gladstone, the star of Killers of the Flower Moon, made history by becoming the first indigenous person to win the best drama actress award.
Cillian Murphy, who portrayed J Robert Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer, paid tribute to Christopher Nolan's unwavering commitment and focus in creating the film. He humorously acknowledged the distinctive atmosphere on Nolan's set, emphasizing that he was in the hands of a visionary director.
Robert Downey Jr, awarded best supporting actor for his role as US government official Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer, highlighted the film's unexpected box office success.
