Australia’s Elizabeth Debicki and Sarah Snook have won Golden Globes for their performances, while Margot Robbie was denied a best actress award and Oppenheimer overshadowed Barbie.

Debicki was named best Supporting Actress in a TV series for her portrayal of Princess Diana in The Crown.

Sarah Snook won her second Golden Globe for best female actor in a TV series drama, for her role in Succession.

Debicki, 33, dedicated the award to her godmother who “left us too quickly” and thanked her “pretend children” Ed McVey and Luther Ford who play Prince William and Prince Harry on the show respectively.

A short time later Margot Robbie lost out in the best Actress in a movie award, with Emma Stone named the winner for her work in Poor Things.

Historical drama Oppenheimer and gothic comedy Poor Things earned the top honours at the Golden Globes, Hollywood’s star-studded kickoff to its annual awards season.

Oppenheimer was named best movie drama by roughly 300 entertainment journalists who voted on the Globes as a part of a new organisation created after an ethics and diversity scandal.

Poor Things, starring Emma Stone as a deceased woman revived by scientists, won best movie musical or comedy, beating female-empowerment blockbuster Barbie.

Christopher Nolan was named best director for Oppenheimer which had eight nominations, just behind Barbie with nine.

Barbie could only manage awards for best original song – Billie Eilish’s What was I made for – and box office achievement.

Oppenheimer’s Cillian Murphy won the best actor award, while his co-star Robert Downey Jr picked up the award for best supporting actor.

In television categories, Succession was named best drama. The Bear, about the struggles of owning a restaurant, won best TV comedy.

Succession‘s Matthew Macfadyen was named best supporting actor in a drama series and co-star Kieran Culkin was best actor.

In other awards, TV series Beef has done well with co-stars Ali Wong and Steven Yeun winning their nominations in acting categories.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph won the first award of the night for her supporting actress role in the holiday movie The Holdovers as Mary Lamb, the grieving school cook who lost her son in Vietnam.

“My new year’s resolution for 2024 is to finish Oppenheimer in 2025,” host Jo Koy joked, before jumping to a few Barbie gags, which was met with few laughs, resulting in Koy breaking the fourth wall.

Koy opened with a joke about watching the nominated titles: “I lied. I only watch Beef, the Filipino American actor joked. “It’s mandatory. I’m Asian.”
