Golden Globe Awards 2024 winners have been announced and Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' have headlined the event by bagging top prizes at the five major categories. Notably, 'Oppenheimer' had received a total of eight nominations at the 81st Golden Globes. These five awards include the supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr, dramatic actor for Cillian Murphy, and best director for Christopher Nolan.
While the Golden Globes may not directly influence the Academy Awards, their impact can significantly bolster campaigns at a pivotal moment. As Oscar nomination voting commences on Thursday, the biographical drama continues to lead the pack as a frontrunner.
Being one of the initial events in the awards circuit, the Golden Globes mark the commencement of a journey that concludes with the Oscars on March 10. Studios invest considerable efforts in campaigning for these trophies, recognizing their potential to drive ticket sales, online purchases, and garner favor with industry talent. The upcoming announcement of Oscar nominations on January 23 adds further anticipation to the unfolding awards season.
However, at Oscars 2024, Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' will still face stiff competition from Greta Gerwig’s 'Barbie', Apple’s Martin Scorsese epic Killers of the Flower Moon and Netflix's Maestro.
Oppenheimer is a biographical movie which delves into the man who led invention of the atomic bomb. Nolan's story of J Robert Oppenheimer’s pursuit of inventing the atom bomb grossed $952 million at the box-office.
