No surprises here: Successor Oppenheimer dominates the 2024 Golden Globes

Succession and Christopher Nolans Oppenheimer were the biggest winners at the 2024 Golden Globes, which seemed a little predictable given how much they dominated their respective categories — particularly the acting categories, where in some cases there were three Succession Artists duel for the top spot. Greta Gerwigs Barbie didn’t fare quite as well in the mix, despite being nominated in many categories – in the end it only won Best Original Song and the Cinematic And Box Office Achievement award.

In fact, most of the big surprises at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards happened long before the ceremony itself. Even if the awards are in completely new hands – after a new riot, a boycottand that Dissolution of the original Globes voting bodyfrom the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – this year’s nominees caused consternation in the same category that the Globes always provoke. The leftovers, Beau is scaredAnd May December labeled “musical or comedy”? Julianne Moore as supporting actress May December? That weird “film and box office per formance” category that apparently means “films that made money but were also pretty good”? While the Golden Globes were previously known as drunkest awards ceremony on television

2024 was a comparatively subdued year for the ceremony. There were a few good speeches (like Lily GladstoneShe won for her performance in Martin Scorsese’s Flower Moon Killer) and a few good gags, like Daniel Kaluuya, Hailee Steinfeld and Shameik Moore presenting the Best Screenplay award with a salute to the massive Hollywood writers’ strike of 2023 and some dialogue mocking how her presentation would sound if it had been written by studio executives. (Steinfeld: “You can easily identify with me. I enjoy the Golden Globs. Do you agree?”) But other than that, there weren’t many big surprises Barbie‘s lack of presence compared to his Barbenheimer partner.
