The dark comedy film "One Battle After Another" and the drama "Hamnet" took home the top honors at the Golden Globe Awards, one of Hollywood's major annual awards events. "One Battle After Another" won Best Motion Picture in the Musical or Comedy category, while "Hamnet," which tells the story of William Shakespeare’s life and loss, won Best Drama Film.
The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held with great prestige. This year’s results featured surprising outcomes and set new records across many categories in both film and television. The drama "Hamnet," portraying William Shakespeare’s story of loss, won Best Drama Film and also earned Jessie Buckley the Best Actress award.
Meanwhile, the dark comedy "One Battle After Another" won Best Motion Picture in the Musical or Comedy category, along with Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson and Best Supporting Actress for Teyana Taylor.
The Best Actor award in the Musical or Comedy category went to Timothée Chalamet for his role as a professional table tennis player in "Marty Supreme." He triumphed over established stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney.
On stage, Chalamet said, "This award includes many talented people. I truly respect all of you." He also acknowledged that he had gone home empty-handed many times before, making this award especially meaningful to him.
The Brazilian thriller "The Secret Agent," set during the country’s 1970s military dictatorship, won Best Foreign Language Film, and Wagner Moura won Best Actor for his role in the film.
Another highlight was the song "Golden" from the popular Netflix animation "K-Pop Demon Hunters," which won Best Original Song. Korean-American singer Ejae said while accepting the award, "It’s never too late to shine in your own way."
In television, "The Pitt" won Best Drama Series, with Noah Wyle taking Best Actor. "The Studio" won Best Musical or Comedy Series, with Seth Rogen winning Best Actor in that category.
"Adolescence" won Best Limited Series or Television Movie, with rising star Owen Cooper setting a new record by winning Best Supporting Actor.
Comedian host Nikki Glaser entertained the audience with witty jabs at the attending celebrities, including playful remarks about Leonardo DiCaprio’s type of women, which drew laughter across the hall.
Although the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, composed of over 300 entertainment journalists, is a different body from the nearly 9,000-member Academy Awards committee, tonight’s victories are seen as significant indicators that boost the chances of the winning films and actors at the upcoming Oscars in March.
