Oppenheimer wins big at Golden Globes

In a triumphant start to its awards season journey, biographical thriller 'Oppenheimer' has scooped top honours in three major categories at the Golden Globe Awards.

Christopher Nolan won the coveted title of Best Director - Motion Picture, while Cillian Murphy, who portrayed the American theoretical physicist credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb", was named Best Male Actor - Motion Picture - Drama.

He triumphed over nominees such as Bradley Cooper for 'Maestro', Leonardo DiCaprio for 'Killers Of The Flower Moon', Colman Domingo for 'Rustin', Barry Keoghan for 'Saltburn' and Andrew Scott for 'All Of Us Strangers'.

The cast's triumph extended to the supporting categories, with Robert Downey Jr. taking home the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture.

Oppenheimer was one of last year's biggest movies, grossing nearly $1 billion at the box office.
