Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer Dominates Golden Globes with 5 Awards

Hollywood blockbuster biopic ‘Oppenheimer’ directed by Christopher Nolan dominated the 81st Golden Globes, winning five awards.

‘Oppenheimer’ won best director for Nolan, best drama actor for Cillian Murphy, best-supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr and for Ludwig Goransson’s score.

‘Poor Things’ pulled off an upset victory over ‘Barbie’ to win in the best comedy or musical category.

‘Poor Things’ also won for Emma Stone’s performance as Bella, a Victorian woman experiencing a surreal life and sexual awakening.

Lily Gladstone won best actress in a dramatic film for Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’.

Margot Robbie, star and producer of ‘Barbie’, accepted the award in a pink gown modelled after 1977’s Superstar Barbie.

‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’, two blockbusters brought together by a common release date, also faced off in the best screenplay category. But in an upset, Justine Triet and Arthur Harari won for the script to the French courtroom drama ‘Anatomy of a Fall’. Later, Triet’s film picked up best international film, too.

Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph both won for Alexander Payne’s ‘The Holdovers’. Giamatti, reuniting with Payne two decades after ‘Sideways’, won best actor and Randolph won for her supporting performance as a grieving woman in the 1970s-set boarding school drama.

Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘The Boy and the Heron’ won best animated film, an upset over ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’.
