DUBAI: US singer-songwriter Andra Day and model Molly Sims hit the red carpet at Sunday night’s Golden Globes in gowns by Lebanese designer Georges Chakra. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle Both stars attended the award show — held in Beverly Hills, California — in looks by the Lebanese couturier, although they opted for very different styles. Day, who is also an actress, went for a semi-sheer all-black dress accented with dramatic floral ruffles, while Sims chose a gold gown complete with pleated detailing and an oversized floral epaulette on one shoulder. Historical drama "Oppenheimer" dominated the Golden Globe awards, and gothic comedy "Poor Things" upset summer blockbuster "Barbie," as Hollywood threw its biggest party since labor disputes shut down much of show business last year, Reuters reported. "Oppenheimer," about the making of the atomic bomb, landed five honors, including the coveted best movie drama prize and acting awards for stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. Christopher Nolan won his first Golden Globe award for best director for the film. "Poor Things," starring Emma Stone as a deceased woman revived by scientists, won best movie musical or comedy. Awards watchers had widely expected that honor to go to "Barbie," the female empowerment story inspired by the iconic doll that topped 2023 box office charts and went into the night with a leading nine nominations. Stone also was named best actress in a movie comedy or musical. "Barbie" went home with just two awards, for Billie Eilish"s song "What Was I Made For" and for a new category called cinematic and box office achievement, created for widely seen films. The winners were chosen by roughly 300 entertainment journalists who voted on the honors as a part of a new organization created after an ethics and diversity scandal among Globe voters. In television categories, "Succession" was named best drama and led all series with four wins, including a lead acting honor for Kieran Culkin. The glitzy ceremony at the Beverly Hilton 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. Known for being more relaxed than the Academy Awards, the Globes nearly disappeared. A 2021 Los Angeles Times report revealed ethical lapses and a lack of diversity among the roughly 80 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group that previously voted on the Globes. The 2022 ceremony was scrapped while the organization made reforms. Sunday"s turnout showed Hollywood had re-embraced the Globes as a key stop on the awards campaign trail. In the crowd were several Hollywood legends from Meryl Streep to Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster, all Globe nominees vying for Oscars this year.
