Golden Globes 2024 live: Awards show sees huge ratings boost with controversial host

Annual ceremony returned in its usual Sunday slot, hosted at the Beverly Hilton Hotel

Golden Globes 2024: Stars walk red carpet

The Golden Globes returned with a blowout, star-studded ceremony on Sunday (7 January) night.

The annual, Beverly Hills-based awards show has been obscured in recent years after a 2021 Los Angeles Times investigation revealed that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (the awards’ voting body) did not have a single Black member.

However, this year, the Globes were back in their usual Sunday slot on CBS and hoping to regain viewers. Broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton Hotel, A-listers including Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence and Kylie Jenner brought some much-needed stardust to the beleaguered show.

Oppenheimer, Barbie, Poor Things and Anatomy of a Fall were among the films to earn multiple awards. Christopher Nolan won his first Globe following six nominations while Barbie was surprisingly pipped to Best Picture in the Musical/Comedy category Poor Things.

Meanwhile, Beef, The Bear and Succession were the big winners in the TV categories.

Follow along for live updates below.

Jo Koy has Hollywood stars in stitches with brutal Harry and Meghan joke

“Harry and Meghan Markle got paid millions for doing absolutely nothing – and that’s just by Netflix,” he told the crowd, who laughed in response. The camera zoomed in on the streaming service’s CEO, Ted Sarandos, after he cracked the joke. Both Harry and Meghan were not present at the ceremony.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner enjoy date night at Golden Globes

During the ceremony, the camera panned to the couple several times, with viewers capturing the pair kissing and looking happy together.

At one point during the night, the cameras captured Jenner fiddling with the diamond choker worn by Chalamet, before she leaned in to kiss the actor.

Lily Gladstone becomes first Indigenous person to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress

Lily Gladstone has just made history. She plays an Osage woman whose husband is part of a murderous conspiracy in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

Gladstone said a few lines in Blackfeet language, then said, “I don’t have words.” She thanked her director and co-stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio and dedicated the award to “every little rez kid” who had a dream.

Christopher Nolan asked about viral Peloton instructor

It was inevitable that Nolan would be asked about the Peloton instructor who trashed one of his movies. “Nothing but love for Peloton,” the director responded backstage; though, he admitted he’d refrained from using it since his comments caused a stir.

‘What an a**hole’: Emma Stone on her dear friend, Taylor Swift

Asked backstage what she thought of the pop sensation cheering her win, Stone replied: “What an a**hole, am I right?”

She’s been friends with Swift for years, but still, “What an a**hole,” she jokes again.
