The 81st Golden Globes Award took place with much fanfare marking the first integral felicitation ceremony of 2024. The event was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Check out who managed to win big on the occasion.

Cillian Murphy and Emma Stone win big

It is Cillian Murphy who took home the Best Actor Award in the Motion Picture, Drama category for his stellar performance in Oppenheimer. He gave a shoutout to director Christopher Nolan in a rather humorous way while receiving the award. Murphy said, “I knew the first time I walked on a Christopher Nolan set that it was different. I could tell by the level of rigor, the level of focus, the level of dedication, and the complete lack of any seating options for actors. That I was in the hands of the visionary director and master.”
