Awards season has officially kicked off in Hollywood, with A-listers flocking to the Los Angeles Beverly Hilton Hotel on Monday for the 81st annual Golden Globes.  

With the very best of the best in the entertainment industry nominated for the best film and television moments of 2023, some of our own Aussie talent walked away with some of the biggest awards of the night.  

Aussie actress  Elizabeth Debicki emerged as an early winner for the TV  categories, taking  home the award for  Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Princess Diana in  The Crown.  

She beat out the likes of Meryl Streep (for her role in Only Murders in the Building) and  Hannah Waddingham (for her role in  Ted Lasso) for the award, as she has long been praised by royal fans for her touching portrayal of the late Princess of Wales’  last years.  

Also coming out on top in another  television  category was Aussie actress  Sarah Snook, who was the recipient of one of the biggest honours of the night, Best Actress in a drama, for her incredible performance in the final season of  Succession.

Meanwhile for outstanding achievements in film, Margot Robbie  and the whole Barbie team took home the  inaugural Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award, following the global hype of Barbie mania back in July.  

Margot was also nominated for Best Actress in a musical or comedy for  Barbie,  but was ultimately pipped by Emma Stone for her incredible performance in Poor Things.

Elsewhere in the awards, Oppenheimer came out on top with Cillian Murphy  taking home the award for  Best Actor for portraying scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer in the three-hour long epic, with the film also being crowned Best Picture and Christopher Nolan taking home the Best Director award.
