Your support makes all the difference.Another night of Hollywood glitz and glamour has concluded at the 81st Golden Globes. A raft of films and TV shows were competing for a statuette in 27 different categories, but it was Christopher Nolan’s biographical thriller Oppenheimer that picked up the most awards last night.
Clinching the win for best film – drama, Nolan also took home the gong for best director, while Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. won awards for best male actor in a film – drama and best supporting male actor in a film – drama respectively.
Succession, which has just concluded with its fourth and final season, followed closely behind Nolan’s epic with four wins for best TV series – drama and acting wins for Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen.
And despite Barbie leading the Golden Globe nominations ahead of the night with nine, the Greta Gerwig-directed comedy won just two. Barbie inaugurated the first ever cinematic and box office achievement award, while Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell’s What Was I Made For won the award for best original song.
Altogether, seven films and five TV shows were awarded a Golden Globe. Here’s where you can watch and stream them all in the UK.
