Streaming platforms dominated the 83rd Golden Globes, with Netflix taking seven awards, Apple TV and HBO Max each earning three, and Hulu securing one, marking one of the strongest performances for digital first studios at the ceremony.
Netflix Wins And Top Titles
Netflix collected the most trophies on the night, led by the series “Adolescence,” which won four awards. The show received best limited series, best actor in a miniseries for Stephen Graham, best supporting actor for Owen Cooper, and best supporting actress for Erin Doherty. Netflix’s most watched title, “KPop Demon Hunters,” also won best animated feature and best original song.
