The haul should add to the Christopher Nolan drama’s momentum as the announcement of Oscar nominations approaches, especially since no other feature in Globe contention took more than two awards. 

Other films likely to gain Oscar ground from the Globes included Poor Things, with wins as best musical or comedy film and best female actor in a comedy or musical for Emma Stone, and Anatomy Of A Fall, with Globes for best non-English language film and best screenplay overall for Justine Triet and Arthur Harari. 

Barbie, which had led the nomination standings with nine nods (to Oppenheimer’s eight), came out of the evening with only the best song prize and the Globes’ new “cinematic and box office achievement” award. 

The top film acting Globes for drama went to Cillian Murphy for Oppenheimer and Lily Gladstone for Killers Of The Flower Moon, while the musical or comedy actor award went to Paul Giamatti for The Holdovers.

The Boy And The Heron won the Globe for animated feature, beating out its expected close rival for the Oscar Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. 

Succession was the leading Globe winner on the TV side, with four awards including best drama series. Beef was named best limited series.  

With the strike-delayed Emmys coming up on January 15 this year, the wins for Succession - which also included the drama series best actor and actress awards for Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook - point to another big night for the now-concluded show in a week’s time.
