After a troubled couple of years, the Golden Globes were (mostly) back in full swing for their annual ceremony in which a number of high-profile stars attended.

Boldly hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael, there were a variety of winners amongst the quality film and television contenders.

From the big-screen perspective, the Irish dark comedy The Banshees of Inisherin bolstered its chances of Oscar success by clinching three Globes. The film, which centres on the sudden fallout between two old friends, won Best Picture (Comedy/Musical) ahead of strong competitors like Everything Everywhere All at Once, Babylon and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

Additionally, leading man Colin Farrell bagged his second Globe win in Best Actor (Comedy/Musical) for his role as a dim farmer while filmmaker Martin McDonagh took home Best Screenplay.

Despite losing out on Best Picture (Comedy/Musical), Everything Everywhere All at Once did secure double wins for seasoned stars Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. Yeoh prevailed in Best Actress (Comedy/Musical) ahead of Margot Robbie (Babylon) while former child actor Quan strengthened his fairytale journey towards Oscar glory by taking home Best Supporting Actor.

On the dramatic side of things, Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical drama The Fabelmans overcame stern competition from the likes of Elvis and blockbuster sequels Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick to prevail in the Best Picture (Drama) category.

Spielberg himself also tasted victory by winning his third Best Director gong ahead of other big guns like James Cameron (Avatar: The Way of Water) and Baz Luhrmann (Elvis).

Elsewhere, Austin Butler deservedly won Best Actor (Drama) for his portrayal of music icon Elvis Presley in the musical biopic Elvis while an absent Cate Blanchett claimed a third Globe success for her leading role as a controversial orchestra conductor in the drama Tár.

A tight Best Supporting Actress category saw Angela Bassett prevail for her emotional turn as Queen Ramonda in the comic-book action sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Her triumph marks the first time that an actor has won a Globe for a Marvel film.

As expected, Guillermo del Toro’s stop-motion adaptation of Pinocchio comfortably clinched Best Animated Film while the fact-based Argentinian drama Argentina, 1985 overcame strong competition from All Quiet on the Western Front and RRR to win Best Non-English Motion Picture.

Despite its loss in that particular category, RRR created history by becoming the first Indian film to win a Globe for its groovy song ‘Naatu Naatu’. The action epic’s triumph came at the expense of more high-profile nominees like Lady Gaga (Top Gun: Maverick), Rhianna (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and Taylor Swift (Where the Crawdads Sing).

Finally, the Cecil B. DeMille award was presented to comedian actor Eddie Murphy in celebration of a remarkable acting career dating forty years with hit roles including 48 Hrs. (1982), Trading Places (1983), the Beverly Hills Cop trilogy (1984-94), Coming to America (1988), The Nutty Professor (1996), Mulan (1998), Doctor Dolittle (1998), the Shrek series (2001-10), Dreamgirls (2006), Dolemite is My Name (2018) and Coming 2 America (2021).

On the small-screen side of things, ABC’s school-based sitcom Abbott Elementary topped this year’s winners with three gongs.

The show overcame the likes of The Bear, Only Murders in the Building and Wednesday to be named Best TV Series (Comedy/Musical) while creator Quinta Brunson picked up Best Actress in a TV Series (Comedy/Musical) ahead of the much-fancied Jenny Ortega (Wednesday).

Additionally, Tyler James Williams won the Best Supporting Actor (Drama or Comedy) category at the expense of experienced names like Jonathan Pryce (The Crown), John Turturro (Severance) and Henry Winkler (Barry).

Another first-time winner in the comedy line-ups was Jeremy Allen White as he took home Best Actor in a TV Series (Comedy/Musical) for his fiery role as a stressed chef in the Hulu series The Bear.

Elsewhere, the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon held off strong competition from The Crown, Severance and the final series of Better Call Saul and Ozark to win Best TV Series (Drama). Remarkably, the show did what its predecessor failed to do by winning this category!

On the dramatic acting front, an absent Zendaya scored a first Globe success in Best Actress (Drama) for her powerful role in the HBO drama Euphoria while fellow no-show Kevin Costner surprisingly landed Best Actor (Drama) for the Paramount series Yellowstone. His victory meant that fellow nominee Bob Odenkirk missed out on winning a single Globe throughout his entire run as corrupt lawyer Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul!

Elsewhere, the last series of Ozark tasted success in Best Supporting Actress (Drama or Comedy) as Julia Garner bagged the prize for her swansong turn as Ruth Langmore. Her steady competition included Abbott pair Janelle James and Emmy winner Sheryl Lee Ralph and Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown).

On the limited side of things, The White Lotus: Sicily scored a key win in Best Mini-Series ahead of the likes of Black Bird and Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story while star Jennifer Coolidge took home Best Supporting Actress (Mini-Series) for her humourous turn as dotty heiress Tanya McQuoid.

For his controversial portrayal of serial-killer Jeffrey Dahmer in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Evan Peters eased his way to victory in Best Actor (Mini-Series) while Paul Walter Hauser won the Supporting Actor category for his chilling performance as convicted murderer Larry Hall in Black Bird.

Another real-life performance to be rewarded was Amanda Seyfried as she scooped Best Actress (Mini-Series) for her role as disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout.

Finally, the Carol Burnett award was presented to renowned producer and writer Ryan Murphy for his contributions to television with celebrated works including Nip/Tuck (2003-10), Glee (2009-15), American Horror Story (2011-22), The Normal Heart (2015), The People v. O.J. Simpson (2016), Feud: Bette and Joan (2017), The People v. Gianni Versace (2018), Pose (2018-21), The Politician (2019-20), Hollywood (2020), Ratched (2020-21), Halston (2021), Impeachment (2021) and Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (2022).
