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.
