Irish actress Jessie Buckley was named best drama actress for 'Hamnet,' which also scored a surprise win in the best drama film category.

Vampire thriller 'Sinners' was considered a frontrunner, but it ended up with the box office achievement prize and best score.

The Golden Globes are a key stop on the road to the Academy Awards, and other acting winners included Teyana Taylor, Rose Byrne, Wagner Moura, and Stellan Skarsgård.

Chalamet's win, a highlight of the night, marks his first Golden Globe victory despite multiple nominations in previous years. 'For my parents, for my partner, I love you so much,' he added, referencing girlfriend Kylie Jenner.

Jessie Buckley won best actress for 'Hamnet,' calling the honor 'a real honor' in her emotional acceptance speech, while Teyana Taylor emphasized empowerment in her own emotional speech after winning best supporting actress for 'One Battle After Another.'
