Golden Globes 2024: Sarah Snook, Elizabeth Debicki win for ...
Queenslander Robbie, 33, whose Barbie beat out Taylor Swift’s concert documentary of her hugely successful Eras world tour, thanked the fans.
“We want to dedicate this to every single person on the planet who dressed up and went to the greatest place on Earth: the movie theatres,” Robbie said in her speech.
Historical drama Oppenheimer dominated the awards on Monday AEDT, and gothic comedy Poor Things upset Barbie, as Hollywood threw its biggest party since labour disputes shut down much of show business last year.
Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jnr received acting awards for their roles in Oppenheimer.
Oppenheimer, about the making of the atomic bomb, landed five honours, including the coveted best movie drama prize and acting awards for stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey jnr.
Murphy, who played J. Robert Oppenheimer in the Christopher Nolan-directed film, said he “was in the hands of a visionary director, a master”.
Barbie went home with just two awards, for Billie Eilish’s song What Was I Made For and for a new category called cinematic and box office achievement, created for widely seen films.
In the television field, Succession received several accolades for its final season about the high-stakes battle for control of a global media empire. NIDA graduate Snook won for her portrayal of Siobhan “Shiv” Roy. And Kieran Culkin, who played wayward son Roman Roy, landed the award for best TV drama actor. “Suck it, Pedro!” Culkin joked to competitor Pedro Pascal, star of The Last of Us.
Matthew Macfadyen won for his supporting role as Tom Wambsgans. “I just adored every second playing the weird and wonderful human grease stain that is Tom Wambsgans – Tom Wambsgans, CEO, I should say,” Macfadyen said in his speech. “God help us.”

Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri won awards for their leading roles in restaurant dramedy The Bear.
Emma Stone was named best actress in a motion picture comedy or musical for her lead role in gothic comedy/drama Poor Things, beating out Robbie who was nominated for Barbie. Stone said her character in the film, Bella, “accepts the good and bad in equal measure”. “She has stayed with me deeply,” she said.
Lily Gladstone, best actress winner for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon, began her acceptance speech by introducing herself in the Native American language she learnt in school.
“This is an historic win,” Gladstone continued in English. “It doesn’t belong to just me. I am holding it right now with all my beautiful sisters.”
She thanked director Martin Scorsese as well as Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, her co-stars in the story about the murders of members of the Osage Nation in the 1920s.
Da’Vine Joy Randolph won the Globe for supporting actress in a movie for her role of a grieving mother in The Holdovers.
The Globes honoured the best of film and television selected by a new group of 300 entertainment journalists from around the world, part of reforms made after a diversity and ethics scandal among Globe voters.
The glitzy ceremony kicked off Hollywood’s annual awards season, which culminates with the Oscars on March 10, and brought top stars together for the first time after six months of strikes by actors and writers in 2023.
