Historical drama "Oppenheimer" and gothic comedy "Poor Things" earned the top honours on Sunday at the Golden Globes, Hollywood's star-studded kick-off 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.

Christopher Nolan won best director for Oppenheimer, while Cillian Murphy won for best drama film actor for his role as the man behind the development of the atomic bomb. Robert Downey Jr. picked up best supporting actor for his role in the film. Oppenheimer also won best original score.

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

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

The glitzy ceremony kicked off Hollywood's annual awards season, which culminates with the Oscars on March 10, and brought top stars together for the first time after six months of strikes by actors and writers in 2023.

The event gave performers the chance to mingle and to publicise their movies and TV shows after months when red carpets and other promotions were prohibited.
