There was an impressive showing for multiple films and television series, as Hollywood’s finest gathered for the 83rd Golden Globe Awards.

Ahead of next week’s Oscar nominations, early frontrunner One Battle After Another made a strong impression in the film categories with four wins.

The countercultural epic, which centres on a washed-up revolutionary and his desperate search to find his missing daughter, saw off the likes of Bugonia and Marty Supreme to clinch the Best Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical) prize.

Additionally, filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson picked up two awards for his writing and directing, while star Teyana Taylor secured the Best Supporting Actress gong for her role as feisty revolutionary Perfidia Beverly Hills.

After tearfully thanking a list of people, Taylor used her acceptance speech to send a message to “my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight”.

“Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space.”

Elsewhere, Irish star Jessie Buckley strengthened her hopes of Oscar success by taking home Best Actress (Drama) for her powerful performance as Agnes Shakespeare in the historical drama Hamnet.

In an emotional speech, Buckley said:

“This is not a normal feeling or situation to be in.

It was such an extraordinary set to be part of, because we were telling the story of probably the most famous Brit that ever lived, and we had a Chinese director, a lot of Irish, a mostly Polish crew, beside our British family.

This is a real honour, I love being part of this industry.”

The film itself also overcame strong competition from Oscar contender Sinners to land the Best Motion Picture (Drama) accolade, with director Chloé Zhao and producer Steven Spielberg both on hand to accept the award.

It wasn’t all bad news for Sinners as the period horror scored two wins with composer Ludwig Göransson bagging Best Original Score, while the film itself clinched the Cinematic and Box-Office Achievement prize.

Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet ended his wait for a first Golden Globe success by winning Best Actor (Musical/Comedy) for his brilliant turn as ambitious table-tennis player Marty Mauser in the sports-based dramedy Marty Supreme.

Having prevailed over Hollywood heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney, the prolific star said:

“My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up, always be grateful for what you have.

It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. But I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments make this moment that much sweeter.”

Despite seeing his name absent from both last week’s Actor Award nominations, and the EE BAFTA Award longlists, Wagner Moura resurrected his bid for an Oscar nod by clinching Best Actor (Drama) for his role as runaway professor Armando in the political thriller The Secret Agent, which also won Best Motion Picture (Non-English Language).

In his acceptance speech, the Brazilian star said:

“This is a film about generational trauma, and I think that if trauma can be passed along generations, values can too. So this is to the ones that are sticking with their values in difficult moments.”

There was also joy for Rose Byrne as she triumphed in the Best Actress (Musical/Comedy) field for her acclaimed performance as Linda in the dark comedy If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You.

The Australian star paid tribute to members of her family while jokingly revealing that her actor husband Bobby Cannavale had been unable to join her at the ceremony owing to him being in New Jersey to pick up a bearded dragon.

Meanwhile, Swedish veteran Stellan Skarsgård gave his own Oscar hopes a timely boost as he won Best Supporting Actor for his role as washed-up director Gustav Borg in the Norwegian drama Sentimental Value.

It was also a terrific night for KPop Demon Hunters as the hit Netflix animation picked up two gongs for Best Animated Feature, and Best Original Song for the worldwide hit “Golden”.

However, there was disappointment for a number of multi-nominated films as the likes of Bugonia, Frankenstein, It Was Just an Accident, and Wicked: For Good all came away from the ceremony empty-handed.

Prior to last night’s event, the Cecil B. DeMille award was presented a couple of days earlier to British legend Dame Helen Mirren for her outstanding contribution to cinema with notable roles including The Long Good Friday (1980), Excalibur (1981), The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989), The Madness of King George (1994), Gosford Park (2001), Calendar Girls (2003), The Queen (2006), Hitchcock (2012), Trumbo (2015) and more recently, Goodbye June (2025).
