The 2021 Golden Globes celebrated the success of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” a film about the infamous atomic bomb creator, which won five top prizes and gave birth to the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon in collaboration with “Barbie,” a biting critique of ingrained misogyny and a celebration of female strength. The event also acknowledged excellence in television, with “Succession,” “The Bear,” and “Beef” among the top winners. The ceremony marked a positive change for the Golden Globes, once shunned for corruption and racism allegations, and showcased the tenacity and ingenuity of Hollywood.
