Succession wins big at the Golden Globes, Joaquin Phoenix snags Best Actor award

The 77th Golden Globe Awards went down last night. Who triumphed? Who fell? We have the full list down below.

It was a pretty quiet night for genre fare, although Joker walking away with two awards — “Best Original Score” for Hildur Guðnadóttir (the first solo woman to ever win a Golden Globe in this category) and “Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama)” for Joaquin Phoenix — was pretty surprising given that superhero movies usually have a hard time getting taken seriously at award shows.

And of course Phoenix dropped a lot of F-bombs in his acceptance speech between talking about climate change and agriculture and Australia. Anarchy!

Meanwhile, Game of Thrones left the ceremony empty handed, but that’s nothing new. In all its years on the year, HBO’s megahit only ever won a single Golden Globe: for Peter Dinklage’s performance as Tyrion Lannister in the very first season. But even though Kit Harington didn’t take home a Golden Globe in the category of” Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series (Drama),” at least it went to his HBO colleague Brian Cox, who won for his role as media tycoon Logan Roy in Succession.

Succession also won “Best Television Series (Drama)”. Hopefully this is the start of a long and happy winning streak. HBO also picked up two awards for Chernobyl, its harrowing limited series about the 1986 nuclear accident: “Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television” and “Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television” for Stellan Skarsgård.

“I was happy, I thought they were all deserved,” said HBO President of Programming Casey Bloys, according to Deadline. “I thought Meryl should’ve won, I called that a head-scratcher, but you always root for your team.”

Meryl Streep was up for “Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television” for her role in the second season of Big Little Lies (her 34th Golden Globe nom, no biggee), but the award ended up going to Patricia Arquette’s performance in Hulu’s The Act. “We managed to do so well, and we didn’t have Game Of Thrones,” Bloys continued, downplaying that Thrones never did well at this show. “We are excited what that shows for our future.”

Personally, I’m wondering how The Mandalorian and Watchmen didn’t get any nominations. Hopefully it was just a too-late-in-the-year thing. I expect to see them plastered all over the 78th awards!
