Ayo Edebiri, on Sunday night, won the Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy award for “The Bear” at the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards.

“I’m so very grateful for this. I’m in a room full of so many people who I admire and whose work has lifted me up,” shared Ayo. “I’m an artist, and I’m very lucky to be an artist — and I know we all feel that way, so I just really want to acknowledge that.”

In her joyful moment, the 28-year-old actress, with a Nigerian father and a Barbadian mother, gave shoutouts to her incredible supporters, including her family and the fantastic cast of “The Bear.”

A playful yet heartfelt thanks also went out to “all of my agents and managers’ assistants.”

To the champs answering her emails, she said, “Y’all are real ones. Thank you for answering my crazy, crazy emails. If I forgot to thank you, I’m sorry, unless you were mean or something.”

The Bear also took Best TV Musical or Comedy, and Edebiri’s co-star Jeremy Allen White took the Male Actor in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy prize.

The Golden Globes officially marked the commencement of the 2024 awards season as Universal Pictures’ Oppenheimer won Best Motion Picture Drama, leading all films and TV shows with five trophies.

Cillian Murphy took Best Male Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for Universal’s global smash period pic. Earlier, when its director Christopher Nolan won his first career Golden Globe, he noted that the only other time he’d been on the Globes stage was to accept Heath Ledger’s posthumous statuette for 2012’s The Dark Knight.

The three-hour film about J. Robert Oppenheimer and his Manhattan Project that led to the world’s first atomic bomb also won Male Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr, and the film’s Ludwig Göransson took Original Score.

Lily Gladstone made history by winning Best Female Actor in a Motion Picture Drama for Apple Original Films’ Killers of the Flower Moon, while Searchlight’s Poor Things scored a bit of an upset, taking Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy over Barbie, among others. Earlier, Poor Things star Emma Stone won Female Actor in a Motion Picture Musical, her second Globe triumph in eight career nominations. She also won for 2017’s La La Land.

Paul Giamatti won Male Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for Focus Features’ The Holdovers, his third Globe win among six nominations. His co-star Da’vine Joy Randolph earlier scooped the first trophy of the night, for Female Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture.

The Holdovers, Poor Things, Warner Bros’ Barbie and Neon’s Anatomy of a Fall were the only other film multiple winners of the night. The latter won Best Non-English Language film and Best Screenplay.

Barbie took home the inaugural award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement while Hayao Miyazaki’s first feature in a decade, The Boy and the Heron, won for Best Animated Motion Picture.

On the small screen, HBO’s Succession won Best TV Series Drama for the third time and topped all shows with four wins. But Netflix led the way for television with five trophies with three for Beef and one each for The Crown and Armageddon. FX had three.
