The 81st edition of the Golden Globes, held this January 7, 2024, aims to reward the best films and television series of last year. The event took place at the Beverly Hilton in California. On this occasion, the prominent British director Christopher Nolan won the 2024 Golden Globe for best director for his film 'Oppenheimer', which addresses the story of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his involvement in the Manhattan Project, which culminated in the development of the atomic bomb.
This was the 53-year-old filmmaker's third nomination at the Golden Globes, having previously been nominated for films such as 'Inception' and 'Dunkirke'. However, on this third occasion, he managed to take home the award, which could possibly portend similar success at the Oscars.

What were Christopher Nolan's moving words when remembering Heath Ledger?
“It was complicated and a challenge for me. I was talking, I exchanged glances with Robert Downey Jr. and he sent me support and love, like now,” recalled filmmaker Nolan: “I thought it would be easier to accept it when it was for me and it wasn't. As a director, I have to accept it on behalf of the people.”
It is worth remembering that in 2009, Christopher Nolan collected the posthumous Golden Globe on behalf of the late actor Heath Ledger, who was recognized for his portrayal of the 'Joker' in 'The Dark Knight'. Ledger had died a year earlier.
