Happy to see recognition for Ludwig Göransson, the composer behind the propulsive and dizzying score for "Oppenheimer," the little summer biopic that could.

Emma Stone won the Golden Globe for best performance by an actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy for her portrayal of Bella Baxter in "Poor Things."

“Playing Bella was unbelievable. I see this as a rom-com, in the sense of Bella falls in love with life itself rather than a person, and she accepts the good and the bad in equal measure, and that really made me look at life differently, and all of it counts, and all of it is important," Stone told the crowd. "She has stayed with me deeply.” 

The accolade is Stone's second Golden Globe win and eighth nomination.

Ayo Edebiri bantered with reporters in the press room after taking home her award for “The Bear.” In filming the show, Edebiri said, she realized how much Chicago reminded her of her home city, Boston.

The people there are just “real people,” she said, adding that she also appreciates Chicago’s food scene.

Taking home two awards for “Anatomy of a Fall,” director Justine Triet told reporters that she didn’t want the film’s actors to know definitively whether Sandra killed her husband or not. The ambiguity is intentional, she said.

“Maybe she didn’t kill him,” Triet said, “but she could’ve pushed him to commit suicide.”

"The Boy and the Heron" took home the Golden Globe for best animated motion picture.

The film, from Japanese anime icon Hayao Miyazaki, follows 12-year-old Mahito Maki, who, while grieving his mother's death, is set on a life-changing path after speaking to a heron.

The producers couldn't make it, so presenters Florence Pugh and Natalie Portman accepted the award on their behalf.

"Barbie" went into the night as the most-nominated film, and "Killers of the Flower Moon" is a major critical favorite, but so far neither has won an award tonight.

I'm sure that'll change over the next hour, however. "Barbie" seems like a safe bet for best comedy/musical film, and Lily Gladstone could win in the best actress (drama) race.

No big surprise but still exciting for the "Oppenheimer" heads out there: Christopher Nolan just won the best director Globe for his three-hour atomic age epic.

Nolan is widely considered one of the signature American filmmakers of the 21st century, but he's never won a Golden Globe (or an Academy Award, for that matter). He's a safe bet for the equivalent award at this year's Oscars, I'd say.

The other nominees in this category tonight: Bradley Cooper ("Maestro"), Greta Gerwig ("Barbie"), Yorgos Lanthimos  ("Poor Things"), Martin Scorsese ("Killers of the Flower Moon") and Celine Song ("Past Lives").

Kieran Culkin just won the Globe for lead actor on a drama series for HBO's dearly departed "Succession."

I think Culkin richly deserves the award after delivering what was probably the most complex and emotionally wrenching performance during the final season. But he definitely wasn't a lock going into the night, especially since he was up against co-stars Jeremy Strong and Brian Cox.

In his speech, Culkin said this was a "nice moment" because he never expected to be up on the Globes stage.

Kevin Costner recited a brief part of America Ferrera's now iconic "Barbie" monologue in which she explains "it's impossible to be a woman," he said.

The pair gushed over Ferrera's speech while presenting an award for best actress in a TV comedy.
