Golden Globes 2024 recap: Biggest moments from the 81st annual awards show

The awards show honored the best in film and television.

The 2024 Golden Globes kicked off awards season Sunday night as the best in film and television were honored.

Comedian Jo Koy hosted the ceremony, which was held at Los Angeles' famed Beverly Hilton.

"Oppenheimer" and "Succession" were big winners of the night, with "Barbie" taking home the prize for cinematic and box office achievement, one of the two new categories at this year's show.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association -- the group of international journalists who previously chose nominees for and decided winners at the annual awards show -- was officially wound down last summer after years of controversy. Now with new management and a voting membership that has swelled to 300 members, this year marked a fresh start for the Golden Globes.

Check out a recap of how the night unfolded below.

Lily Gladstone wins best performance by a female actor in a motion picture (drama)

Lily Gladstone won the Golden Globe for best performance by a female actor in a motion picture (drama) for "Killers of the Flower Moon."

Gladstone is the first Indigenous actor to win a Golden Globe for best actress.

During her acceptance speech, Gladstone spoke using the language of the Blackfeet people.

"I'm so grateful I can speak even a little bit of my language -- which I'm not fluent in -- up here, because in this business, native actors used to speak their lines in English and the sound mixers would run them backwards to accomplish native languages on camera."

"This is a historic win, it doesn't belong to just me," she continued. "This is for every little rez kid … every little native kid out there who has a dream, who is seeing themselves represented and our stories told by ourselves in our own words with tremendous allies and tremendous trust…."

Past Indigenous nominees include Chief Dan George for "Little Big Man" and Irene Bedard for "Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee."

Other nominees in the category included Annette Bening for "Nyad," Sandra Hüller for "Anatomy of a Fall," Greta Lee for "Past Lives," Carey Mulligan for "Maestro" and Cailee Spaeny for "Priscilla."
