Hollywood Shock: Chalamet Beats DiCaprio at Golden Globes
Timothee Chalamet stuns Hollywood at the Golden Globe Awards, beating Leonardo DiCaprio as major wins reshape the Oscars race.
Hollywood's finest gathered for this year's Golden Globe Awards, with Timothée Chalamet among the main winners.
The 30-year-old Chalamet continued his pursuit of greatness and an Oscar, winning Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for the table tennis caper Marty Supreme, beating out stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney.
Despite DiCaprio not winning an award, his film One Battle After Another took home the most awards overall, including four prizes, among them Best Musical or Comedy Film and Best Director.
Irish actress Jessie Buckley was named Best Drama Actress for Hamnet, which also pulled off a surprise win in the Best Drama Film category.
The vampire thriller Sinners was considered a frontrunner, but instead received the Box Office Achievement Award, as well as the award for 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 award television shows, and that night British actors Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, and Erin Doherty received further accolades for their performances in the Netflix drama Adolescence.
Chalamet's 'Sweet' Victory
All eyes were on the Oscar race, and Timothée Chalamet's win has given him an edge over his rivals. Accepting the trophy, he said, "I'm in a category with so many great people."
This was Chalamet's fifth Globes nomination, but his first win. He said, "My father taught me the importance of gratitude from a young age, always be grateful for what you have." "It's let me leave this ceremony empty-handed before, my head held high, just grateful to be here. But I'd be lying if I didn't say those moments have made this moment even sweeter.
"To my parents, to my partner, I love you so much," he said, looking at his girlfriend Kylie Jenner.
Jessie Buckley said the win was 'a real honour'
Jessie Buckley won the Best Actress award for her role in the adaptation of Maggie O'Farrell's best-selling novel Hamnet, which is about the death of William Shakespeare's son.

"This is not a normal feeling or situation," she said in her acceptance speech.
"It was an extraordinary set to be a part of, because we were telling the story of probably the most famous British person ever, and we had a Chinese director, lots of Irish people, mostly Polish crew, in addition to our British family."
She concluded: "It's a real honour, I love being a part of this industry."
Shortly afterwards, when the film was announced as the winner of Best Drama Film, Hamnet director Chloé Zhao looked visibly surprised.
Accepting the award, producer Steven Spielberg said he had "loved O'Farrell's book," but felt Zhao was "the only filmmaker in the world who could tell this story."
Zhao said: "To the Hamnet village that made this film together." Some of them lost loved ones while making this film, and some of them are still struggling, and I just wanted to say that we're thinking of you, we're here because of you, we love you."
Teyana Taylor's emotional message
Elsewhere, singer and actress Teyana Taylor, whose career began when she choreographed a Beyoncé music video at age 15, cemented her place in Hollywood by winning the award for Best Supporting Film Actress for One Battle After Another.

After tearfully thanking several people, she used her acceptance speech to deliver a message to "my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight."
She told them, "We don't need permission for our light to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve to be seen."
Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård, 74, won the award for Best Supporting Actor for Sentimental Value, and joked that he hadn't prepared a speech "because I thought I was too old."
He then made an emotional plea for people to see films like his on the big screen. "Cinema should be seen in cinemas," he said to applause from the crowd.
Australia's Rose Byrne was named Best Actress in a Film Musical or Comedy for 'If I Had Legs I Would Kick You,' and paid tribute to her family members.
"My brother is my date," she said, laughing. "Thanks, George." "Thank you to my mom and dad, who bought Paramount+ so they could watch the Golden Globes from Sydney.

"And I want to thank my husband, Bobby Cannavale. He couldn't be here because, um, we're getting a bearded dragon, and he's at a reptile expo in New Jersey." "So thank you, baby."
Meanwhile, KPop Demon Hunters won the awards for Best Animated Film and Best Song for Golden.
The Brazilian political thriller 'The Secret Agent' was named Best International Film, while its star Wagner Moura won the award for Best Drama Actor.
Maura said, "This film is about generational trauma," and I think if trauma can be passed down through generations, then values can too. So this is for those who stick to their values in difficult times."
Anderson said, "You guys are showing so much love for me and this film," and added: "I love doing what I do."
Adolescence star 'still learning'
British teenager Owen Cooper continued his run of accolades and awards for his performance in Adolescence, winning the award for Best TV Supporting Actor.
The 16-year-old from Washington kept his feet firmly on the ground, telling the A-listers in attendance: "I'm still a trainee. I'm still learning every day. I'm still learning from the people sitting in front of you and sitting in front of me."

And he still can't quite believe his rapid rise, saying: "This is crazy, what's happening?" before ending his speech with his beloved Liverpool FC motto: "You'll Never Walk Alone."
Seth Rogen also won a TV award, and felt a sense of déjà vu having set an episode of his Apple TV comedy The Studio at the Golden Globes.
"This is so weird, we just pretended to do this and now it's actually happening," he said while accepting the Best TV Comedy Actor trophy.
"I thought the only way I was going to get one of these was to make a whole show about giving myself a fake award."
Other TV winners included Jean Smart for Hacks, Noah Wyle for The Pit, and Michelle Williams for Dying for Sex.
And the event's first-ever Best Podcast award went to Amy Poehler, a former Golden Globes host, for her podcast Good Hang with Amy Poehler.
