Timothée Chalamet secures his first Golden Globe win for best actor, standing out in a night of emotional speeches and significant wins, including Jessie Buckley's triumph for best drama actress.

At the 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, Timothée Chalamet made a remarkable impact by winning best actor for his role in 'Marty Supreme', outperforming notable competitors like Leonardo DiCaprio. This year’s event also honored Jessie Buckley as best drama actress for 'Hamnet', while Teyana Taylor delivered a powerful acceptance speech as best supporting actress.

Timothée Chalamet was among the main winners as Hollywood's finest gathered for this year's Golden Globe Awards.

Chalamet, 30, continued his pursuit of greatness, and an Oscar, by beating stars including Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney to the award for best actor in a musical or comedy for table tennis caper Marty Supreme.

Despite DiCaprio missing out, his film One Battle After Another won the most awards overall, with four prizes including best musical or comedy film and best director.

Irish actress Jessie Buckley was named best drama actress for Hamnet, which also scored a surprise win in the best drama film category.

Vampire thriller Sinners had been considered the frontrunner, but it instead went home with the box office achievement prize as well as best score.

The Golden Globes are a key stop on the road to the Academy Awards, and other acting winners on Sunday included Teyana Taylor, Rose Byrne, Wagner Moura, and Stellan Skarsgård.

Unlike the Oscars, the Globes also reward TV shows, and the night saw British actors Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, and Erin Doherty pick up more honors for their performances in Netflix drama Adolescence.

In his acceptance speech, Chalamet expressed gratitude for his nominees and mentioned, For my parents, for my partner, I love you so much, while acknowledging his past nominations as stepping stones towards this victory.

Jessie Buckley, speaking on her win for Hamnet, described her experience as a “real honor,” underlining the collaboration that it took to bring the story to life.

Teyana Taylor emotionally connected with the audience when she received her award for One Battle After Another, saying, Our light does not need permission to shine.

Overall, the 83rd Annual Golden Globes was a celebration of artistry and emotional moments, showcasing a broad range of talent across film and television.
