2024 Golden Globe Winners

The Globes started out with the more horrendous host they've ever had. I think all but one of his jokes landed, then he started making excuses for himself on stage which just made it all worst. It was painful. I went 14/27 with my predictions. Below are the winners + my thoughts.

BEST MOTION PICTURE, DRAMA

Anatomy Of A Fall

Killers Of The Flower Moon

Maestro

Oppenheimer

Past Lives

The Zone Of Interest

This was one of the easier ones to pick and I'm so glad it won.  

BEST MOTION PICTURE, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Air

American Fiction

Barbie

The Holdovers

May December

Poor Things

I really thought the Globes would go hard for Barbie, but I should've known the foreign voters would resonate with Poor Things more. I still think The Holdovers and American Fiction are the two best films here, but I'm not mad about Poor Things. It's great too.

BEST DIRECTOR, MOTION PICTURE

Bradley Cooper – Maestro

Greta Gerwig – Barbie

Yorgos Lanthimos – Poor Things

Christopher Nolan – Oppenheimer

Martin Scorsese – Killers Of The Flower Moon

Celine Song – Past Lives

Nolan is so overdue at this point I'm glad he's getting his flowers for Oppenheimer. The funniest part was the cut to Bradley Cooper after who looked pretty bitter. (That may have been after Cillian's win, I can't remember, but either way. Hilarious)

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE, DRAMA

Annette Bening – Nyad

Lily Gladstone – Killers Of The Flower Moon

Sandra Huller – Anatomy Of A Fall

Greta Lee – Past Lives

Carey Mulligan – Maestro

Cailee Spaeny – Priscilla

Lily spoke a bit of Blackfoot in her speech and it was one of the best of the night. Native actors have long been overlooked and she spoke about the win not being just for her. It was lovely. I hope she continues winning. 

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE, MUSICAL, OR COMEDY

Fantasia Barrino – The Color Purple

Jennifer Lawrence – No Hard Feelings

Natalie Portman – May December

Alma Pöysti – Fallen Leaves

Margot Robbie – Barbie

Emma Stone – Poor Things

I really thought Margot had this on lock, but again I under estimated the foreign voters. Still, Stone deserved this. Jennifer Lawrence looked so happy for her friend too, that was sweet.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE

Emily Blunt – Oppenheimer

Danielle Brooks – The Color Purple

Jodie Foster – Nyad

Da’Vine Joy Randolph – The Holdovers

Julianne Moore – May December

Rosamund Pike – Saltburn

I'm SO happy for Da'Vine!

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE, DRAMA

Bradley Cooper – Maestro

Colman Domingo – Rustin

Leonardo DiCaprio – Killers Of The Flower Moon

Barry Keoghan – Saltburn

Cillian Murphy – Oppenheimer

Andrew Scott – All Of Us Strangers

Cillian! Sweeps are boring but I genuinely hope he sweeps all the big awards. He deserves it.  

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE, MUSICAL, OR COMEDY

Nicolas Cage – Dream Scenario

Timothee Chalamet – Wonka

Matt Damon – Air

Paul Giamatti – The Holdovers

Joaquin Phoenix – Beau Is Afraid

Jeffrey Wright – American Fiction

Paul Giamatti's speech was so pure. The Holdovers was amazing and I will be cheering on every win it gets. 

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE

Willem Dafoe – Poor Things

Robert De Niro – Killers Of The Flower Moon

Robert Downey Jr. – Oppenheimer

Ryan Gosling – Barbie

Charles Melton – May December

Mark Ruffalo – Poor Things

Surprising no one, RDJ gave a great speech. He complained about proving his agent right by saying he needed to "restart his career" 

BEST SCREENPLAY, MOTION PICTURE

Anatomy Of A Fall

Barbie

The Holdovers

Killers Of The Flower Moon

Oppenheimer

Poor Things

This is where I actually predicted Poor Things winning and to my shock, Anatomy of a Fall took it. I'm not mad at that at all. It's a great film.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE, MOTION PICTURE

The Boy And The Heron

Killers Of The Flower Moon

Oppenheimer

Poor Things

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

The Zone Of Interest

My boy Ludwig ends up on my Spotify wrapped every year and I should've seen him coming here. Oppenheimer's score was great, so I'm happy for him adding more gold to his collection.

BEST ORIGINAL SONG, MOTION PICTURE

“What Was I Made For?” – Barbie

“I’m Just Ken” – Barbie

“Dance The Night” – Barbie

“Road To Freedom” – Rustin

“Addicted To Romance” – She Came To Me

“Peaches” – The Super Mario Bros. Movie

I expect What Was I Made For to win the Oscars, but I thought the Globes would go for camp and pick I'm Just Ken. Should've used logic here. 

BEST MOTION PICTURE, ANIMATED

The Boy And The Heron

Elemental

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Suzume

Wish

Ghibli is always a good choice, but anything winning over Spider-Verse is insane to me. Did you SEE that animation?

BEST MOTION PICTURE, FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Anatomy Of A Fall

Fallen Leaves

Io Capitano

Past Lives

Society Of The Snow

The Zone Of Interest

I thought Past Lives would be winning here, but they continued their Anatomy of a Fall love. Again, not mad about it. 

GOLDEN GLOBE FOR CINEMATIC & BOX OFFICE ACHIEVEMENT

Barbie

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3

John Wick: Chapter 4

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One

Oppenheimer

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour

When Barbie won this, I knew it wasn't winning Best Comedy. I truly thought Taylor would win it because the Globes can be star fuckers. 

BEST TELEVISION SERIES, DRAMA

1923

The Crown

The Diplomat

The Last of Us

The Morning Show

Succession

Glad to see Succession on its victory lap. Truly deserving. 

BEST TELEVISION SERIES, MUSICAL, OR COMEDY

Abbott Elementary

Barry

The Bear

Jury Duty

Only Murders in the Building

Ted Lasso

Yes Chef! I love all The Bear love as well.

BEST LIMITED SERIES, ANTHOLOGY SERIES, OR A MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

All The Light We Cannot See

Beef

Daisy Jones and the Six

Fargo

Fellow Travelers

Lessons in Chemistry

The HFPA clearly loved Beef, which will get no complaints from me. 

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES, DRAMA

Helen Mirren – 1923

Bella Ramey – The Last Of Us

Keri Russell – The Diplomat

Sarah Snook – Succession

Imelda Staunton – The Crown

Emma Stone – The Curse

Since Emma won Best Actress, my logic made me ignore the obvious choice in Snook against my better judgement. She is so good in Succession I'm glad for another win for her. 

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Rachel Brosnahan – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Quinta Brunson – Abbott Elementary

Ayo Edebiri – The Bear

Elle Fanning – The Great

Selena Gomez – Only Murders In The Building

Natasha Lyonne – Poker Face

Ayo should win everything. She thanked her agent's assistants for answering her emails which I thought was great. 

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A LIMITED SERIES, ANTHOLOGY SERIES, OR A MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

Riley Keough – Daisy Jones and the Six

Brie Larson – Lessons in Chemistry

Elizabeth Olsen – Love And Death

Juno Temple – Fargo

Rachel Weisz – Dead Ringers

Ali Wong – Beef

Beef swept. I'm bias and wanted Lizzie to win.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A TELEVISION SERIES, MUSICAL/COMEDY, OR DRAMA

Elizabeth Debicki – The Crown

Abby Elliot – The Bear

Christina Ricci – Yellowjackets

J. Smith-Cameron – Succession

Meryl Streep – Only Murders in the Building

Hannah Waddingham – Ted Lasso

The Diana obsession continues. I really think Smith-Cameron should've won here. 

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES, DRAMA

Brian Cox – Succession

Kieran Culkin – Succession

Gary Oldman – Slow Horses

Pedro Pascal – The Last of Us

Jeremy Strong – Succession

Dominic West – The Crown

I really expected the Succession guys to split votes here and for Pedro to come out on top, but it's nice that Kieran gets a win here. He was great.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Bill Hader – Barry

Steve Martin – Only Murders in the Building

Jason Segel – Shrinking

Martin Short – Only Murders in the Building

Jason Sudeikis – Ted Lasso

Matt Bomer – Fellow Travelers

Sam Claflin – Daisy Jones and the Six

Jon Hamm – Fargo

Woody Harrelson – White House Plumbers

Steven Yeun – Beef

I'm so happy Yeun won here. He's one of the best actors to come out of the shitshow that was The Walking Dead so I love to see him winning. 

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A TELEVISION SERIES, MUSICAL/COMEDY, OR DRAMA

Billy Crudup – The Morning Show

Matthew Macfadyen – Succession
