(UPI) — Oppenheimer, Barbie, Succession, Beef and The Bear were the big winners at the Golden Globes ceremony Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“A sweeping story about the ethical dilemma of nuclear weapons grosses $1 billion. Does that track? No,” Downey Jr. said.

It only became a “goddamn masterpiece” because Universal Pictures “went all in,” hiring Nolan, Murphy and Emily Blunt, Downey Jr. added.

The film also earned the Best Drama Film and Best Original Score honors.
