After a lot of anticipation, the Golden Globe Awards finally returned to Los Angeles on Sunday—and it was a night to remember! Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was crowned as the biggest winner of the night after walking away with five awards, while HBO’s Succession conquered the TV categories with four wins.

Oppenheimer faced tough competition in Anatomy of a Fall, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, and The Zone of Interest, but managed to defeat them all and walk away with the ceremony’s most prestigious award—best motion picture—drama.

Christopher Nolan won a Golden Globe for directing Oppenheimer, while Ludwig Göransson collected an award for writing its score. Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. brought the total of film’s wins to five, after winning awards for their respective performances.

When it comes to the TV side, the Golden Globe voters bid farewell to Succession in style. The show’s final season won four awards, including the best drama series, and acting awards for Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, and Matthew Macfadyen. The Bear was right behind with three wins, including the best comedy series, and so was Beef, which was named the best limited series.

The 2024 Golden Globes returned to the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California on January 7, with Jo Koy serving as the host.
