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.

'What Was I Made For?' from 'Barbie' wins best original song

"What Was I Made For?" from "Barbie" won the Golden Globe for best original song.

"Thank you to my brother Finneas, you are the reason I am who I am," "What Was I Made For" singer-songwriter Billie Eilish said alongside her brother, who co-wrote the song with her. "I want to thank Greta [Gerwig] and Noah [Baumbach] for making this incredible film. I want to thank Margot [Robbie] for being the Margot we know and love."

"It was exactly a year ago, almost, that we were shown the movie," she continued. "I was very, very miserable and depressed at the time, and writing that song kind of saved me a little bit."
