...and also marked entertainment's biggest party since the six months of strikes by actors and writers that shut down the industry for much of last year.

"Oppenheimer" won big for film, taking home the top prize for drama, and four others, including the coveted best drama actor prize for Cillian Murphy, and another for best director, Christopher Nolan's first at the Globes.

"I can only accept this on behalf of people. As directors, we bring people together and we try to get them to give their best.

Meanwhile "Poor Things", starring Emma Stone, beat out smash hit "Barbie" for best movie musical or comedy.

Stone was also named best actress in a musical or comedy for her portrayal of Bella Baxter, who embarks on a dramatic voyage of self-discovery and liberation.

On the TV side, media dynasty drama "Succession" and dramedies "The Bear" and "Beef" fared especially well.

"Succession" depicts the power struggle among members of the wealthy, back-stabbing Roy family.

For its fourth and final season, the HBO show broke the record for most Golden Globe TV award nominations, and took home the best drama win, as well as three for cast members.

Jeremy Allen White received his second Golden Globe for his role as head chef Carmy in "The Bear".

"I can't believe I'm in this room with all these, all these people I've loved so much, admired so much for so long. It's, it's unreal. I love this show."

Netflix comedy-drama "Beef" won best television limited series, and leads Ali Wong and Steven Yeun brought home best female and male actor in that category.

They were the first Globe wins for both actors and a nod to an Asian-led series.

Sunday was the first instance of the Globes under new organization, after an ethics and diversity scandal led the 2022 ceremony to be scrapped, and reforms were made to its voting structure.

As part of the new effort, Sunday's winners were decided by a comparatively racially diverse bloc of roughly 300 entertainment journalists from 75 countries around the world.
