Golden Globes 2024: 'Barbie', 'Oppenheimer', 'Succession' Win Big - Top Moments From The Prestigious Awards

It’s D-Day! The award season in Hollywood has kicked off with the 81st edition of the prestigious Golden Globes.

The Golden Globes 2024 was a gala night to remember. The event was hosted by comedian Jo Koy. 'Barbie', 'Oppenheimer', 'Succession', 'Beef', 'Anatomy of a Fall', 'Poor Things' and many others led the awards night with some of the biggest wins. Here are some top moments from the Golden Globe Awards 2024.

While Jo Koy did his best to entertain the audience, it seemed loose-ended. But I guess we were expecting some audience interactions during the break-time. On another note, all the celebs brought their A-game when it came to fashion. The eventful night was filled with many actors celebrating their fellow nominees' wins and mingling over food and drinks. Overall, it seemed like a fair and well-deserved awards night. 

That's a wrap on the Golden Globes and a big night for Hollywood!
