The Golden Globe Awards: A Night of Surprises and Efficiency
The 2024 Golden Globe Awards concluded with a brisk ceremony, highlighting several unexpected wins alongside anticipated triumphs. *The Brutalist*, *Emilia Pérez*, *Hacks*, and *Shōgun* emerged as the night’s biggest winners. While Sebastian Stan’s win for *A Different Man* and Demi Moore’s victory for *The Substance* provided pleasant surprises, the overall tone leaned towards efficiency. Host Nikki Glaser delivered a relatively safe opening monologue, steering clear of controversy after last year’s incident with Jo Koy. Political humor remained minimal, resulting in a less memorable event compared to previous years, despite a few well-received jabs at Ben Affleck.
