Golden Globes 2024: 'Barbie' by Greta Gerwig wins first-ever Cinematic and Box Office Achievement
It's Barbie's world, and we're just living in it!
The blockbuster movie "Barbie," directed by Greta Gerwig, won the first-ever cinematic and box office achievement from the Golden Globes.
This is the first time the award-giving body is handing out the recognition.
During the awards night on Sunday, Gerwig and Margot Robbie accepted the award on behalf of the entire cast and crew of "Barbie."
"Thank you to everybody, all the Barbies and Kens in front of and behind the screen," the director said.
"It was the greatest, most joyful show of craftsmanship and passion I've ever seen," she added.
Meanwhile, Margot thanked the Golden Globes "for creating an award that celebrates movie fans."
"This is a movie about Barbie but it is also a movie about humans. It's about you. We made it for you and we made it with love and thank you for loving it back," she added.
Meanwhile, "What Was I Made For," the official soundtrack of "Barbie" by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell, also won Best Song for Motion Picture at the Golden Globes.

Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, "Barbie" was the highest-grossing film of 2023, with box office receipts surpassing the $1 billion mark.
At the awarding ceremony, Jo Koy made a feeble joke on Barbie's behalf, one of a number of bad jokes that didn't land well with the A-listers present at the gathering.
