The ceremony was a star-studded affair, with Hollywood A-listers Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Kieran Culkin and Margot Robbie taking home coveted trophies.

With five wins, including the top prize, 'Oppenheimer' swept the Golden Globes.

‘Oppenheimer’ stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr received accolades for their performances, and Christopher Nolan secured the Best Director award.
