Jane Campion's Western drama ''The Power of the Dog'' was named the best motion picture drama and satirical black comedy ''Succession'' emerged as the best drama series at the 79th edition of the Golden Globe awards, which was not a starry affair owing to a Hollywood boycott.

''The Power of the Dog'' also won Campion the golden gong for the best director motion picture and rising star Kodi Smit-McPhee a trophy for best performance by an actor in a supporting role in any motion picture.

''Succession'', a much loved HBO series from Jesse Armstrong, further took home two more awards for series stars Jeremy Strong and Sarah Snook in best performance by an actor in a TV series - drama and best actress in a supporting role TV - drama categories, respectively.

The ceremony was held as a private, no broadcast or livestream event sans audience and red carpet appearances at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles in a scaled-down ceremony.

Rachel Zeigler and Ariana DeBose picked up trophies in the best performance by an actress in a motion picture - musical/ comedy and best performance by an actress in a supporting role in any motion picture categories, respectively.

For his turn as the late playwright Jonathan Larson in Lin-Manuel Miranda's feature directorial debut ''Tick, Tick... Boom!'' on Netflix, Andrew Garfield earned the Golden Globe for best performance by an actor in a motion picture - musical/ comedy.

Oscar frontrunner and Japanese film ''Drive My Car'' was named the best motion picture - non English and Disney's ''Encanto'' was selected as the best motion picture - animated.

Veteran music composer Hans Zimmer won his third Golden Globe for giving the original score of Denis Villeneuve's ''Dune'' adaptation. Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell landed their maiden golden trophy for the title track of the James Bond film ''No Time To Die'' in the best original song category.

Besides ''Succession'', ''Hacks'' emerged as the next big winner in the television segment as the show won the TV series musical/ comedy trophy for HBO Max and earned veteran actor Jean Smart a Globe for best actress in a TV series - musical/ comedy.

O Yeong-su, another veteran actor, won his first Golden Globe for his performance in the best supporting actor in a TV drama for popular Netflix survival drama series ''Squid Game''. O is the first South Korean actor to earn a trophy at the awards gala.
