This year's Golden Globes saw hits and misses for Australia, last-minute snubs and new categories debut.
Here are the key moments from the 83rd Golden Globe Awards:
Rose Byrne's bearded dragon, Jacob Elordi misses out
Australian Rose Byrne took out the nod for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy.
Byrne won for If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, thanking her team, which she says shot it in "25 days for like $8.50".
It was a family affair for the Australian, with Byrne bringing her brother George as a date.
Her husband, actor Bobby Cannavale, also got a thank you, but was, oddly enough, out bearded dragon shopping.
Meanwhile, fellow Australian Jacob Elordi missed out on Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture.
Nominated for Frankenstein, the prize instead went to Stellan Skarsgård for his role in Sentimental Value.
The 74-year-old Skarsgård confessed he had not prepared a speech because he "thought that I was too old".
Still, Skarsgård paid tribute to his wife and famous brood of actor children (think True Blood's Alexander and It's Bill).
"I'm playing a father that is a bad father, and my children have really told me what a bad father is," he told the crowd.
He ended his speech with a tribute to the "extinct species" that are cinemas.
"In a cinema, where the lights go down, and eventually you share the pulse with other people, that is magic."
Elordi also lost out on Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, which went to Adolescence's Stephen Graham.

Amy Poehler takes out inaugural podcast award
2026 was the debut year for the category Best Podcast — a Hollywood nod to the form's growing popularity.
And in a highly-predicted win, Amy Poehler's Good Hang took the prize, handed to her by a "high as a motherf***er" Snoop Dog.

Poehler was up against ex-husband Will Arnett and his SmartLess podcast, and she took the time to thank all other nominees — except "for NPR".
