The Golden Globes made a dazzling return with a star-studded ceremony on Sunday night. The annual awards show, traditionally held in Beverly Hills, faced a decline in recent years, notably after a 2021 Los Angeles Times investigation revealed the absence of a single Black member in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the awards’ voting body.
This year, the Globes aimed for a resurgence, returning to its usual Sunday slot on CBS and broadcasting live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Renowned celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, and Kylie Jenner added a much-needed touch of glamour to the beleaguered show.
Notable films like Oppenheimer, Barbie, Poor Things, and Anatomy of a Fall received multiple awards. Christopher Nolan secured his first Globe after six nominations, while Poor Things unexpectedly took the Best Picture in the Musical/Comedy category, surpassing Barbie.
