In the acting categories, Timothée Chalamet won the Golden Globe for best actor in a comedy film for his portrayal of an ambitious 1950s table tennis player in Marty Supreme. Chalamet triumphed in a tough field that included Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), George Clooney (Jay Kelly), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Lee Byung-hun (No Other Choice) and Jesse Plemons (Bugonia).

Australian actress Rose Byrne took home the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy film for her performance as a woman whose life is unraveling in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You. Byrne topped a crowded category featuring Cynthia Erivo (Wicked: For Good), Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue), Chase Infiniti (One Battle After Another), Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee) and Emma Stone (Bugonia).
