The second major awards show of the season, the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, delivered a largely expected slate of winners alongside a few surprise nods, a sizzling TV duo moment, and a pair of nostalgic reunions.

Stars descended on the Beverly Hilton for a lively evening honoring film and television, with winners selected by the Golden Globes Foundation, composed of entertainment journalists from over 76 countries.

Returning for a second year as host, comedian and actress Nikki Glaser trained her sharp humor on a range of pop-culture targets, from George Clooney’s Nespresso endorsement and Leonardo DiCaprio’s romantic choices vis-à-vis his film career, to the Wicked sequel and a pointed jab at the pending Warner Bros. sale.

Winners’ circle

Leonardo DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another continued its awards-season momentum, winning four trophies, including Best Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Supporting Actress for Teyana Taylor. The film’s writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson also earned Best Director and Best Screenplay honors.

Another top winner was Hamnet, which claimed Best Picture – Drama, placing it as a top contender in the category for the rest of the season. Director Chloé Zhao accepted the award, saying “the most important thing of being an artist is learning to be vulnerable in love, to allow ourselves to be seen for who we are…and to give ourselves wholly to the world—even the parts we’re afraid of,” quoting actor Paul Mescal, who plays William Shakespeare in the film. The film’s other lead, Jessie Buckley, also picked up a trophy for Best Actress – Drama. Rounding out the Best Picture winners were KPop Demon Hunters (Best Animated Film, and also Best Song for Golden), and The Secret Agent (Best Foreign Language Film), with Wagner Moura taking Best Actor – Drama for his performance. Ryan Coogler’s vampire-Western Sinners was chosen for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
