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

Ali Wong won the Golden Globe for best performance by a female actor in a limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for television for her role in "Beef."

Wong is the first woman of Asian descent to win in the category.

In her acceptance speech, the actress thanked her ex-husband, Justin Hakuta, for his "love and support."

"I really need to thank the father of my children and my best friend, Justin," she said. "It's because of you that I'm able to be a working mother."

Other nominees in the category included Riley Keough for "Daisy Jones & The Six," Brie Larson for "Lessons in Chemistry," Elizabeth Olsen for "Love & Death," Juno Temple for "Fargo" and Rachel Weisz for "Dead Ringers."

Robert Downey Jr. won the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a supporting role in any motion picture for "Oppenheimer."

The "Iron Man" actor lauded "Oppenheimer" director Christopher Nolan and his fellow castmates for their work in the film, which he called a "masterpiece."

He also shouted out his wife Susan Downey, whom he said "has literally made an art out of extracting me from my comfort zones."

Other nominees in the category included Willem Dafoe for "Poor Things," Robert De Niro for "Killers of the Flower Moon," Ryan Gosling for "Barbie," Charles Melton for "May December" and Mark Ruffalo for "Poor Things."

Da'Vine Joy Randolph won the Golden Globe for best performance by a female actor in a supporting role in any motion picture for "The Holdovers."

Other nominees in the category included Emily Blunt for "Oppenheimer," Danielle Brooks for "The Color Purple," Jodie Foster for "Nyad," Julianne Moore for "May December," Rosamund Pike for "Saltburn."

Jo Koy opened the show with a hilarious monologue, kicking things off on a heartfelt note by calling his role as 2024 Golden Globes host a "dream come true."

"When I was a kid growing up I used to watch this show. I would stay up late with my family just trying to guess who would win, and every time my mom would say, 'It's Meryl Streep, stupid. Who else is going to win? She wins every time.' And she was right."

"You do," he said, looking over at Streep. "You do win all the time."

Koy also quipped about having not seen any other show this past year besides "Beef," joking, "It's mandatory, I'm Asian!"

The comedian joked that his 2024 resolution is to "finish 'Oppenheimer'" and, referring to his takeaway from the "Barbie" movie, said "it was weird being attracted to a plastic doll."
