Timothée Chalamet was among the main winners as Hollywood's finest gathered for this year's Golden Globe Awards. Chalamet, 30, continued his pursuit of greatness and an Oscar by beating stars including Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney to the award for best actor in a musical or comedy for table tennis caper 'Marty Supreme'.
Despite DiCaprio missing out, his film 'One Battle After Another' won the most awards overall, with four prizes including best musical or comedy film and best director.
Irish actress Jessie Buckley was named best drama actress for 'Hamnet', which also scored a surprise win in the best drama film category.
Vampire thriller 'Sinners' had been considered the frontrunner, but it instead went home with the box office achievement prize as well as best score.
The Golden Globes are a key stop on the road to the Academy Awards, and other acting winners included Teyana Taylor, Rose Byrne, Wagner Moura, and Stellan Skarsgård. Unlike the Oscars, the Globes also reward TV shows, and the night saw British actors Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, and Erin Doherty pick up more honors for their performances in Netflix drama 'Adolescence'.
With all eyes on the Oscars race, Timothée Chalamet's victory has given him a boost over his rivals. I'm in a category with many greats, he said when accepting his trophy. It was Chalamet's fifth Globes nomination, but his first win. My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up, always be grateful for what you have, he said. It's allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. But I'd be lying if I didn't say those moments make this moment that much sweeter. For my parents, for my partner, I love you so much, he added, looking at girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
Jessie Buckley was named best actress for her role in the adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's best-selling novel 'Hamnet', about the death of William Shakespeare's son. This is not a normal feeling or situation to be in, she said in her acceptance speech. It was such an extraordinary set to be part of because we were telling the story of probably the most famous Brit that ever lived, and we had a Chinese director, a lot of Irish, a mostly Polish crew, beside our British family. This is a real honour, I love being part of this industry.
Elsewhere, singer and actress Teyana Taylor, whose career started when she choreographed a Beyonce music video at the age of 15, cemented her Hollywood breakthrough by winning best supporting film actress for 'One Battle After Another'. After tearfully thanking a list of people, she used her acceptance speech to send a message to my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight. Our light does not need permission to shine, she told them. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space.
Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård, 74, won best supporting actor for 'Sentimental Value', and joked that he hadn't prepared a speech because I thought that I was too old. He then made an impassioned plea for people to see films like his on the big screen. Cinema should be seen in cinemas, he said to cheers from the crowd.
Other notable wins included Rose Byrne for best actress in a film musical or comedy for 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You', and KPop Demon Hunters won best animated film and best song for 'Golden'.
The event continues to celebrate and honor diverse talents in the entertainment industry, setting the stage for further accolades leading up to the Oscars.
