Paul Thomas Anderson's epic revolutionary film 'Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood' was the big winner at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, taking home the top prize for Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy. Meanwhile, Chloe Zhao's Shakespearean drama 'Hamlet' caused a major upset by defeating 'Dune' to win Best Motion Picture — Drama. 'Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood' won Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, with Tiana Taylor, Paul Thomas Anderson, and the screenplay also winning for Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, respectively. Anderson became only the second director in history to sweep the top awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, a feat previously achieved only by Oliver Stone for 'Born on the Fourth of July' in 1989. Despite 'Hamlet's' big win, 'Dune' was awarded for Best Original Score and the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award. It was particularly notable that 'Dune' beat major franchise films like 'Avatar: The Way of Water' in these categories. While some reports initially described the film as having limited success upon release, 'Dune' ultimately grossed $278 million domestically and $368 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing original film in 15 years.
