Christopher Nolan's blockbuster biopic Oppenheimer dominated the 81st Golden Globes, winning five awards including best drama, while Yorgos Lanthimos' Frankenstein riff Poor Things pulled off an upset victor over Barbie to triumph in the best comedy or musical category. If awards season has been building toward a second match-up of Barbenheimer, this round went to Oppenheimer." The film also won best director for Nolan, best drama actor for Cillian Murphy, best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr. and for Ludwig Goransson's score. I don't think it was a no-brainer by any stretch of the imagination to make a three-hour talky movie R-rated by the way about one of the darkest developments in our history," said producer Emma Thomas, accepting the night's final award and thanking Universal chief Donna Langley.

The Golden Globes have found a new broadcast home at CBS after the troubled awards show lost its longtime home at NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) was dissolved after years of scandal.

The song, which beat the likes of Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Lady Gaga, to win the coveted award is the first time that an Indian production has won a Golden Globe. Organised by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the prestigious awards, which mark the beginning of the Hollywood season that ends with the Oscars, were presented here on Tuesday night. "RRR" had also been nominated in the 'best picture-non English' category and lost out to Argentina's historical drama Argentina, 1985. But there was compensation aplenty. "And the Globe goes to 'Naatu Naatu' 'RRR'," actor Jenna Ortega announced on stage to loud cheers from the 'RRR' team. The track has been composed by veteran music director MM Keeravaani and voiced by singers Kala Bhairava and Rahul ...
