Hamnet, One Battle After Another, and Adolescence lead Golden Globe winners

One Battle After Another, a film about a group of washed-up revolutionaries, took four prizes – including Best Motion Picture Comedy/Musical, Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson and Best Supporting Actress for Teyana Taylor.

However, its lead Leonardo DiCaprio failed to win the Best Actor prize, which went to Timothee Chalamet instead for his starring role in the table tennis drama Marty Supreme.

Hamnet, the adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's book about the death of Shakespeare's son, was the surprise winner of the award for Best Dramatic Film. Irish star Jessie Buckley also won the Best Actress in a Motion Picture/Drama prize for her performance as Shakespeare's wife.

Vampire horror Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B Jordan, took Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, as well as Best Original Score.

KPop Demon Hunters – Netflix's most-watched film ever – was named Best Animated Film, while the movie's track Golden won the Best Original Song prize.

Meanwhile, in the TV categories, Netflix drama Adolescence won in all four of its categories. It was named Best Limited Series, while three of its stars also took home acting awards; Stephen Graham was named Best Actor in a TV Miniseries, 16-year-old Owen Cooper was named Best Supporting Actor, and Erin Doherty was named Best Supporting Actress.
