The 81st Golden Globe Awards were held on Sunday night (January 7th) at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Hosted by Jo Koy, the ceremony aired live on CBS and Paramount +.
Koy was booed during his opening monologue, causing him to go off-script and say, “Yo, I got the gig ten days ago! You want a perfect monologue? Shut up! You’re kidding me, right?” He later made a joke about Taylor Swift, and her unenthused response went viral on social media. “We came on after a football doubleheader,” Koy said. “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL … On the Golden Globes we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.”
Oppenheimer was the big winner of the evening, taking home five Golden Globes in total, including Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Male Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for Cillian Murphy.
Lily Gladstone made history as the first Indigenous person to win the Golden Globe for Best Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon. Speaking Blackfoot upon receiving the award, she said, “This is a historic win and it doesn't belong to just me.” Gladstone dedicated the award to “every little rez kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream.”
Barbie led the nominations with nine nods, taking home the awards for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Original Song. “It was exactly a year ago almost that we were shown the movie and I was very miserable and depressed at the time,” Billie Eilish said while accepting the award for Best Original Song. “Writing that song kind of saved me a little bit. A year later, here we are and I feel incredibly lucky and grateful.”
For television, Succession led the way with four trophies, including Best Television Series – Drama. Beef and The Bear followed close behind with three awards each.
Quite a few first-time nominees became first-time winners, including Lily Gladstone, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Steven Yeun, Ayo Edebiri, and Ali Wong. Wong made history as the first Asian actor to win the award for Best Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made For Television for her role in Beef, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
