The 2024 Golden Globes were a big night on TV, but… Succession ultimately won the most prizes.
Succession received four trophies at the awards ceremony, which took place on Sunday, January 7 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. The show’s wins include an award for best television series in the drama category. Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook And Matthew Macfadyen‘s performances were also awarded throughout the night.
The nominees for the 81st Golden Globe Awards were announced a month before the ceremony. Succession came out on top with nine nominations, including one for best television series in the drama category. Brian CoxCulkin, 41, Snook, 36, Macfadyen, 49, Alan Ruk, J. Smith-Cameron And Alexander Skarsgard all received nods for their performances during the show’s fourth and final season.
The hit HBO series, which debuted in 2018, revolved around a wealthy family fighting for control of their father’s business as his health declined. Viewers were shocked when Cox’s character, Logan Roy, was killed off in several episodes in season 4.
Cox, 77, revealed he knew of Logan’s fate in advance The New York Times in April 2023, “[Creator Jesse Armstrong] called me and he said, ‘Logan’s dying.’ And I thought, ‘Oh, that’s fine.’ I thought he was going to die around episode 7 or 8, but by episode 3 I thought, “Well, that’s a little early.”
The actor, who previously won a Golden Globe Award for Successionpraised the show for ending on a high note.
“The problem with a lot of television, especially American television, is that it exceeds its shelf life,” he added at the time. “And the great thing about Jesse and the writers is that they wouldn’t do that. Always leave the party when it is at its peak, not when it is going down.”
In the meantime, The bear And Only murders in the building scored five nominations each for the past few seasons. The shows were contenders for best television series in the musical or comedy category The bear get to the top. (Stars Jeremy Allen White And Ayo Edebiri also walked away with acting trophies.)
As regards Only murders in the building, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez And Meryl Streep were recognized for their performances in season 3.
Before Sunday’s awards ceremony, OMITB Creator Johannes Hofman opened up about the future of the show, which has already been renewed for a fourth season.
“[So far I have been able to] together shaping something that feels really exciting and new to the show and connected in ways that are really important. But [it is] also all new, something we have not done before. So I’m excited about that,” Hoffman said exclusively We weekly in October 2023 while discussing his vision for the show. “The pleasure of working on the show is rare, and I think anyone who works on the show knows that that is rare. So the instinct and inclination is that there’s room here – certainly in what we’re watching and thinking about for Season 4 – to explore something new.
Other shows that were honored with multiple nominations include The crown, Beef, Daisy Jones & The Six, Fargo, The last of us, Ted Lasso and more.
The one from Netflix Beef brought home three awards, including acting trophies for Ali Wong And Steven Yeunwhich marked the first time Asian American actors won in those categories.
