Historical drama "Oppenheimer" and gothic comedy "Poor Things" earned the top honors on Sunday at the Golden Globes, Hollywood's star-studded kickoff to its annual awards season.

"Oppenheimer" was named best movie drama by roughly 300 entertainment journalists who voted on the Globes as a part of a new organization created after an ethics and diversity scandal.

"Poor Things," starring Emma Stone as a deceased woman revived by scientists, won best movie musical or comedy, beating female-empowerment blockbuster "Barbie."

The event gave performers the chance to mingle and to publicize their movies and TV shows after months when red carpets and other promotion was prohibited.
