The 81st Golden Globe Awards were the first major award
show since the dual Hollywood strikes ended.
To demonstrate the importance of writers and writing,
we asked that this segment be written not by writers,
but by studio executives.
First, let's talk
TVHBOS. Succession swept its categories,
including Best TV Drama Series,
Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress,
and Best Actor.
Sorry, burping indigestion
didn't need to say that the bear dominated the TV
comedy categories,
including a win for Best Series,
Jeremy Allen White won for Best Actor,
and IOA Debris collected her first Golden Globe for Best
Actress.
Do the people who answer my
emails Y'all are real ones?
Thank you for answering my crazy,
crazy emails. In the limited series categories,
Beef took the cake. In addition to winning Best Series,
Ali Wong and Stephen Young were awarded Best Actress and
Best Actor.
I'm just the recipient of a long line of compassion
and love
and protection and
goodwill, so I appreciate this.
Now on to the movies.
It was the summer of Barbenheimer,
and both films are now officially Golden Globe winners.
Oppenheimer clinched best drama Film and best director for Golden
Globe first timer Christopher Nolan.
Cillian Murphy snagged best actor.
I knew the first time that I walked on.
Chris Nolan said that it was different.
I could tell by the level of
rigor, the level of focus,
the level of dedication, the complete lack of any seating
options for actors
that it was I was in the hands of a
visionary director.
Barbie, meanwhile, was crowned with a brand new award cinematic
and box office achievement for its massive popularity with moviegoers
who would like to dedicate this to every single person
on the planet who dressed up
and went to the greatest place on Earth,
the movie theaters. But the colorful hit was mostly shut
out of other categories,
including best comedy film, which instead went to poor things.
Emma Stone also won for lead actress.
Bella falls in love with life itself
rather than a person, and she accepts the good and
the bad in equal measure.
And that really made me look at life differently.
And in the drama acting categories,
Lily Gladstone made history for her role in Killers of
the Flower Moon.
She's the first Native American person to win a Golden
Globe for Best Actress.
This is for every little rez kid,
every little urban kid, every little native kid out there
who has a dream,
who is seeing themselves represented and our stories told by
ourselves in our own words.
With tremendous allies and tremendous trust,
the holdovers also earned recognition for its stars.
Devine Joy Randolph and Paul Giamatti both won acting prizes.
The Golden Globes were hosted by comedian Joe Coy,
but several of the evenings presenters also enjoyed time in
the spotlight.
