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.

'Succession' wins best television series (drama)

"Succession" won the Golden Globe for best television series (drama).

Creator Jesse Armstrong called the show a "team effort" and thanked his fellow producers, the writers room and the directors, as well as the cast and crew for their work on the past four seasons.

"We decided this was the right time to end the show and that was very bittersweet, particularly for me, because I finally bought some shoes that are appropriate for awards -- and this might be the last time I ever get to wear them," he added. "It is bittersweet, but things like this make it rather sweeter, so thank you very much indeed."

With this win, "Succession" now ties "Mad Men" and "The X-Files" for the most wins in the category, with three wins total.

"Succession" cast members Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen won Golden Globes earlier tonight.

Other nominees in the category included "1923," "The Crown," "The Diplomat," "The Last of Us" and "The Morning Show."
