Golden Globes 2024: Barbenheimer Effect - Robert Downey Jr Wins

The 81st Golden Globes have kickstarted the Hollywood award season for this year. Early winners included Best Supporting Actor (Film) for Robert Downey Jr (Oppenheimer) and Best Supporting Actress (Film) for Da'Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers). RDJ's category included Ryan Gosling who played Ken in Barbie - Barbie and Oppenheimer clashed at the global box office with tremendous results last year. Beef won two acting awards in the Limited Series, Anthology or TV Movie category - Best Actress and Best Actor for Ali Wong and Steven Yeun. Fan favourite Matthew Macfadyen won Best Supporting Actor (TV) for Succession.

The Barbenheimer effect spilled over to the Golden Globes nominee slate with nine nominations for Barbie and eight for Oppenheimer. Killers Of The Flower Moon and Poor Things received seven nods each. Succession headed the list of TV nominations with nine followed by The Bear and Only Murders In The Building at five each.

The Golden Globes returns this year under new ownership after some fraught years of criticism and boycott of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association that used to present the awards. The Globes are now owned by the production company that has produced and broadcast the show for decades. The Golden Globes, hosted by comedian Jo Koy, have introduced two new categories this year - Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Performance in Stand Up Comedy on TV.
