The historical drama film “Oppenheimer” won the Golden Globes the day before yesterday with five awards, and the film “Poor Things” surpassed the film “Barbie”, which had set the box office record during the summer, in the big premiere ceremony held in Hollywood following the lengthy shutdown of much of the entertainment industry due to two strikes last year.
The film “Oppenheimer”, which tells the story of the making of the nuclear bomb, won five awards, including the top prize, best drama, and the best actor and best supporting actor awards for stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., respectively.
Christopher Nolan won the Golden Globe for best director for the first time for the film, distributed by Comcast-owned Universal Pictures.
“I’m very happy to honor Chris, because I think what he does is different than what anyone else does,” Emma Thomas, Oppenheimer’s producer and Nolan’s wife, said on stage.
“Poor Things,” starring Emma Stone and about a dead woman brought back to life by scientists, won the award for best comedy or musical.
Stone won Best Actress in the Comedy or Musical category for her role in the film.
Those who followed the ceremony expected that the first prize would be won by the film “Barbie”, which revolves around women’s empowerment and is inspired by the famous doll, which reached the first place at the box office for the year 2023 and has received nine nominations two nights ago.
“Barbie” received only two awards, the first for the song “What Was I Made for” by Billie Eilish, and the second for a new category called Cinematic Achievement and Box Office, dedicated to films that have received popular demand in theaters.
The winners were chosen by a group of about 300 entertainment journalists, as part of a new organization created after a scandal involving ethical lapses and a lack of diversity in the voting pool.
Lily Gladstone, who won the best actress award for her role in the film “Killers of the Flower Moon,” said: “This is a historic win that not only affects me, but also affects all my beautiful sisters.”
He thanked director Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, the stars involved in the story of the killing of members of the Osage tribe in the 1920s.
Other acting award winners include Paul Giamatti and Joey Randolph for “The Holdovers,” a comedy set in an all-boys boarding school.
In the field of television works, the series “Succession” (Caliphate) won the award for best dramatic work and outperformed the rest of the series with four awards, including the award for best performance by actor Kieran Culkin.
The series “The Bear,” which revolves around the struggle to gain ownership of a restaurant, won best comedy series and best acting performance for stars Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri.
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony marks the start of the annual awards season in Hollywood, which will conclude with the Oscars ceremony scheduled for March 10. The concert will reunite A-list stars after six months that saw an actors and writers strike in 2023.
The ceremony gave celebrities the opportunity to highlight their films and television shows after months of being banned from promotion.
The large attendance at the ceremony demonstrated that Hollywood has brought the Golden Globes ceremony back as a major awards distribution event. Among the participants were some legendary Hollywood stars such as Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster, all nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and competing for the Oscars this year. Pop star Taylor Swift has joined the audience as an award nominee for her latest musical film. Oprah Winfrey presented tonight’s grand prize to “Oppenheimer.”
Funnier than the Oscars
The Golden Globes are known for being more entertaining than the Oscars. It was almost canceled entirely, as a report prepared by the Los Angeles Times in 2021 revealed ethical lapses and a lack of diversity within the group that was voting to choose the award winners, which numbered about 80 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association . The concert was canceled in 2022 while the organization made reforms.
