“Oppenheimer” was named best movie drama by roughly 300 entertainment journalists who voted on the Globes as a part of a new organisation created after an ethics and diversity scandal.

“Poor Things,” starring Emma Stone as a deceased woman revived by scientists, won best movie musical or comedy, beating female-empowerment blockbuster “Barbie.”

Paul Giamatti meanwhile won the Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy film for his portrayal of a curmudgeonly prep school history teacher in “The Holdovers.”

He bested Nicolas Cage for “Dream Scenario,” Timothee Chalamet for “Wonka,” Matt Damon for “Air,” Joaquin Phoenix for “Beau is Afraid” and Jeffrey Wright for his performance in “American Fiction.”

Lily Gladstone picked up the Golden Globe for best female actor in a drama for her role in Martin Scorsese’s crime epic “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

She bested a crowded field that also included Annette Bening in “Nyad,” Sandra Huller in “Anatomy of a Fall,” Greta Lee for “Past Lives,” Carey Mulligan in “Maestro” and Cailee Spaeny for “Priscilla.”

In television categories, “Succession” was named best drama. “The Bear,” about the struggles of owning a restaurant, won best TV comedy.

The glitzy ceremony kicked off Hollywood’s annual awards season, which culminates with the Oscars on March 10, and brought top stars together for the first time after six months of strikes by actors and writers in 2023. The event gave performers the chance to mingle and to publicize their movies and TV shows after months when red carpets and other promotion was prohibited.

The ceremony was broadcast live on CBS and streamed simultaneously for subscribers to Paramount+ with Showtime.
