Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas

This year's Golden Globes, having looked to distance itself from the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association in an ongoing attempt to resuscitate its increasingly faltering reputation, happened in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. And, as could have been predicted, it was a good night for Oppenheimer and The Holdovers, though Barbie didn't score perhaps as much as might have been thought.

Oppenheimer saw Christopher Nolan notching the first directing Golden Globe (following six nominations), plus Best Actor (drama) for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Original Score and Best Picture (Drama).

The Holdovers, Anatomy Of A Fall and Barbie won two awards each, with the year’s biggest hit making do with an original song for Billie Eilish and Finneas’ “What was I Made For?” and the new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement gong.

The small screen awards were even less of a shock –– Succession and The Bear gobbled up the lion’s share of trophies, while Netflix’s Beef had a good night, taking home Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television, with awards for stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong. The latter is the first actress of Asian descent to win in her category (Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television).
