Christopher Nolan’s biopic about the father of the atomic bomb received five awards and won all the major categories: best drama film, best director, best actor for Cillian Murphy, who plays Robert Oppenheimer, and best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr, who lends his features to a politician, the scientist’s great rival.

“A great story about the ethical dilemma of nuclear weapons. Does this have a chance of working? No,” joked Mr. Downey Jr. “Unless Universal is banking on Christopher Nolan to direct Cillian Murphy.”

For his part, Christopher Nolan had a modest triumph.

“As directors, we bring people together and we try to get them to give their best,” explained the creator ofInception and D’Interstellarpaying tribute to its actors.

The favorite with eight nominations, the film also won the prize for best soundtrack.

barbiesulked doll

barbie, another favorite of the evening, was however shunned by the jury. The voters preferred him Poor Creaturesalready honored with the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, for the title of best comedy.

In the same logic, it was Emma Stone and her role as the female Frankenstein in this fanciful film, who was voted best actress, rather than the interpreter of the peroxide doll, Margot Robbie.

Nominated nine times, Greta Gerwig’s feminist satire, which sees Barbie discover the misogyny of the real world, had to settle for two secondary awards: the new Golden Globe for best commercial success – logically awarded after its overwhelming domination at the box office l last year – and that of the best song.

Anatomy of a surprise

barbie was also beaten for the best screenplay prize by the French film Anatomy of a Fall, which doubled the stakes by winning the title of best foreign language film. Enough to confirm the universal appeal of the last Cannes Palme d’Or.

Moved, its director Justine Triet recounted her surprise at seeing her feature film, which recounts the trial of a writer accused of the murder of her husband and dissects the collapse of their much-loved couple.

While writing with her partner Arthur Harari, “we kept telling ourselves that we were having a lot of fun, but that no one would go see this film,” she explained. According to her, the feature film “deals with the truth and the impossibility of pinning it down.”

This double success risks causing regrets in France, because Anatomy of a Fall will not be eligible for the Oscar for best international film. He was snubbed to represent France for the benefit of Passion of Dodin Bouffanta historical romance between two foodies.

Forgotten scandals

The media hype around the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon, which filled theaters around the world this summer, was timely to restore luster to the Golden Globes, recently bought and reformed by private investors.

Long considered a springboard to the Oscars, Hollywood’s former favorite party has been undermined by corruption and racism scandals in recent years.

To get out of this bad situation, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which had created these awards and focused the accusations of ethical breaches and amateurism, was dissolved. The new organization has greatly diversified the jury, inviting critics from all over the world.

Reforms mischievously welcomed by Robert Downey Jr, again.

“To the Golden Globes journalists: thank you for changing the rules of your game, and therefore your name,” said the actor, rewarded for his supporting role in Oppenheimer.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, Oprah Winfrey… The elite were present this year, far from the boycott of the ceremony in 2022.

After the actors’ and screenwriters’ strike which paralyzed it for six months, Hollywood seemed ready to give up and eager to restart the promotional machine before the Oscars in March.

Music stars Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift, who were also nominated, all walked the red carpet.

The only notable exception, comedian Ricky Gervais, who had presented the ceremony in the past, was absent despite his award for best stand-up show.

Lily Gladstone, best actress

Among the other headliners, Lily Gladstone won the award for best actress in a drama film, for her role as a Native American confronted with capitalist greed and a series of murders in her tribe, in the historical fresco of Scorsese Killers of the Flower Moon.

“It’s a historic victory, it doesn’t just belong to me,” underlined the Native American actress.

Wise presenter

For this ceremony marked by renewal, the host of the evening Jo Koy carefully avoided controversial jokes, reserving his witticisms for the “Barbenheimer” duo.

“I don’t want you to think I’m a pervert, but it was a little weird to be attracted to a plastic doll,” said the comedian, before ironically speaking about the three hours ofOppenheimercomparable to a series.

“I loved it, especially the first season,” he joked.

On the television side,Successionchronicling the power struggles within a family at the head of a media empire, dominated, with the prize for best drama series and awards for its actors Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen.

Series The Bearwhich delves into the back kitchen of a Chicago restaurant, dominated the comedy categories.

Finally American-Korean production Relentless won the award for best miniseries.
