BEVERLY HILLS, California (Reuters) – Historical drama “Oppenheimer” and gothic comedy “Poor Things” took home the top honors on Sunday at the Golden Globes, marking the glamorous start of Hollywood’s annual awards season.
“Oppenheimer” was crowned the best movie drama by approximately 300 entertainment journalists who cast their votes for the Globes as part of a newly formed organization following an ethics and diversity scandal.
Starring Emma Stone as a revived deceased woman, “Poor Things” won the title of best movie musical or comedy, triumphing over the female-empowerment blockbuster “Barbie.”
In the television categories, “Succession” claimed the prize for best drama, while “The Bear,” a show centered around the challenges of owning a restaurant, secured the award for best TV comedy.
The glitzy ceremony marked the beginning of Hollywood’s awards season, culminating with the highly anticipated Oscars on March 10. It brought together top stars who finally reunited after six months of strikes by actors and writers in 2023. The event provided performers with the opportunity to mingle and promote their movies and TV shows, which had been restricted due to the absence of red carpets and other promotional activities.
The ceremony was broadcast live on CBS and simultaneously streamed for Paramount+ and Showtime subscribers.
