‘Succession,’ ‘The Bear’ and ‘Beef’ are big TV winners at 2024 Golden Globes

Heading into the 2024 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 7, “Succession” was the show to beat as it scored a record nine nominations — more than any other television show in history. Some of the other top nominees on the TV side were “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building” with five noms apiece, and “The Crown” with four bids. But which shows ended up being the big winners during the three-hour ceremony?

Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress was the first TV category handed out this year, and it went to Ali Wong (“Beef”), who is also predicted to prevail at next week’s Emmys. She beat out Riley Keough (“Daisy Jones & the Six”), Brie Larson (“Lessons in Chemistry”), Elizabeth Olson (“Love and Death”), Juno Temple (“Fargo”) and Rachel Weisz (“Dead Ringers”).

Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actor was up next, with Wong’s co-star Steven Yeun (“Beef”) winning, which is fitting since the Globes snubbed him for “Minari” three years ago. The other nominees were Matt Bomer (“Fellow Travelers”), Sam Claflin (“Daisy Jones & the Six”), Jon Hamm (“Fargo”), Woody Harrelson (“White House Plumbers”) and David Oyelowo (“Lawmen: Bass Reeves”).

Moving over to Best TV Supporting Actress, the champion was Elizabeth Debicki (“The Crown”), continuing the Globes’ love affair with the Netflix regal drama. She bested the following ladies: Abby Elliott (“The Bear”), Christina Ricci (“Yellowjackets”), J. Smith-Cameron (“Succession”), Meryl Streep (“Only Murders in the Building”) and Hannah Waddingham (“Ted Lasso”).

The Best TV Supporting Actor category was awarded to Matthew Macfadyen (“Succession”), putting his HBO family drama on the board with its first win out of a record nine nominations this evening. The other contenders were Billy Crudup (“The Morning Show”), James Marsden (“Jury Duty”), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Bear”), Alan Ruck (“Succession”) and Alexander Skarsgård (“Succession”).

If you were predicting Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”) to win Best TV Comedy Actor, you’d be right! He also claimed this award last year, making it the first repeat win of the night. This time around, he took down Bill Hader (“Barry”), Steve Martin (“Only Murders in the Building”), Jason Segal (“Shrinking”), Martin Short (“Only Murders in the Building”) and Jason Sudeikis (“Ted Lasso”).

Best Stand-Up Comedian on Television, a brand new category, went to former Golden Globe host Ricky Gervais for “Ricky Gervais: Armageddon.” Unfortunately, he wasn’t there to accept his trophy. The other comedy specials nominated were “Trevor Noah: Where Was I,” “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage,” “Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact,” “Sarah Silverman: Someone You Love” and “Wanda Sykes: I’m An Entertainer.”

Up next was Best TV Comedy Actress, with first-time nominee Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”) pulling out a victory. She was snubbed last year as a supporting actress, so this is a fitting “promotion” of sorts. She beat out Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Elle Fanning (“The Great”), Selena Gomez (“Only Murders in the Building”) and Natasha Lyonne (“Poker Face”).

The Best TV Drama Actor winner, Kieran Culkin (“Succession”), told the crowd to “sit down” as they gave him a standing ovation. He then joked, “Suck it, Pedro. Sorry. Mine,” in reference to his co-nominee Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us”). The others were Brian Cox (“Succession”), Gary Oldman (“Slow Horses”), Jeremy Strong (“Succession”) and Dominic West (“The Crown”).

Best TV Movie/Limited Series capped things off for that genre with a prime victory for “Beef.” That made three wins for “Beef” tonight — not too shabby! The other nominees were “All the Light We Cannot See,” “Daisy Jones & the Six,” “Fargo,” “Fellow Travelers” and “Lessons in Chemistry.”

Rounding out the funny races was the award for Best Comedy Series, which went to “The Bear.” That meant “The Bear” completely swept the Top 3 comedy categories. It beat out the likes of “Abbott Elementary,” “Barry,” “Jury Duty,” “Only Murders in the Building” and “Ted Lasso.”

The award for Best TV Drama Actress was up next, with Sarah Snook (“Succession”) winning in lead two years after she scored in supporting. She jokingly asked Culkin if he wanted to give the speech for her because she was so nervous. She beat out Helen Mirren (“1923”), Bella Ramsey (“The Last of Us”), Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”), Imelda Staunton (“The Crown”) and Emma Stone (“The Curse”).

The last television category of the evening was Best Drama Series and … drumroll please … the big winner was “Succession”! It has now tied “Mad Men” and “The X-Files” as the only shows to win Best Drama Series three times. The other contenders were “1923,” “The Crown,” “The Diplomat,” “The Last of Us” and “The Morning Show.”

Here are the final TV show totals:

4 wins = “Succession”

3 wins = “The Bear” and “Beef”

1 win = “The Crown” and “Ricky Gervais: Armageddon”
