A revamped Golden Globes kicked off with Taylor Swift in the house, wins for Barbie and Oppenheimer and a rocky monologue from comedian Jo Koy.
Koy took the stage at the Beverly Hilton International Ballroom in Beverly Hills, California, to open the 81st Golden Globes.

The Filipino American stand-up hit on some expected topics: Ozempic, Meryl Streep’s knack for winning awards and the long-running Oppenheimer (“I needed another hour”).
After one joke flubbed, Koy, who was named host after some bigger names reportedly turned the gig down, also noted how fast he was thrust into the job.
“Yo, I got the gig 10 days ago. You want a perfect monologue?” said Koy.
“I wrote some of these, and they’re the ones you’re laughing at.”
One of the highlights was Robert Downey Jr., winning his third Globe for his supporting performance in Oppenheimer.
It was the first head-to-head contest between Christopher Nolan’s epic and Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, which took out the Globes’ new box office category, while Oppenheimer took out Best Motion Picture — Drama.
The surprise hit of the night was Poor Things, which pipped Barbie at the post for Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy.
Lead actor, Emma Stone, won Best Actor in the Musical/Comedy genre, beating out Australia’s Margot Robbie, while Cillian Murphy won Best Drama Actor for Oppenheimer.
