In a night filled with star-studded elegance, Christopher Nolan's celebrated biopic, Oppenheimer, took center stage at the 81st Golden Globes, clinching five victories, including the prestigious Best Drama award. In a surprising twist, Yorgos Lanthimos' inventive rendition of Frankenstein, titled Poor Things, surpassed expectations and outshone Barbie, securing the coveted title in the Best Comedy or Musical category. While the awards season had teased a potential "Barbenheimer" showdown, this time around, Oppenheimer undeniably emerged as the favored victor.

Nolan secured the Best Director award, while Cillian Murphy took home the Best Drama Actor accolade, and Robert Downey Jr. received recognition as the Best Supporting Actor. The film also triumphed in the Best Original Score category, with Swedish composer Ludwig Göransson earning the accolade. In addition to its victory in the Best Comedy or Musical category, Poor Things celebrated Emma Stone's exceptional performance as Bella, a Victorian woman navigating a surreal existence and a transformative sexual awakening. Describing the film, Stone remarked, "I see this as a rom-com, but in the sense that Bella falls in love with life itself, rather than a person. She accepts the good and the bad in equal measure, and that truly made me reconsider how I view life."
