Collecting the award, star and producer Robbie dedicated the gong to "every single person on the planet who dressed up and went to the greatest place on earth - the movie theatres".

Earlier Robbie lost out in the Best Actress in a musical or comedy, with Emma Stone named the winner for her role as Bella Baxter in Poor Things.

Barbie had been leading the field at the Globes with nine nominations, ahead of Oppenheimer's eight.

However it was overlooked in the first four categories in which it was nominated, while Oppenheimer has had a string of wins, including Best Director for Christopher Nolan.

Its first breakthrough of the night came with Billie Eilish and brother Finneas O'Connell taking the Â Golden Globe for best original song.

The pair wrote What Was I Made For? featured in Barbie.

Meanwhile Australian Elizabeth Debicki has won her first Golden Globe Award for her role as Diana, Princess of Wales, in The Crown.

She was named best Supporting Actress in a TV series.

The Australian actress, 33, dedicated the award to her godmother who "left us too quickly" and thanked her "pretend children" Ed McVey and Luther Ford who play Prince William and Prince Harry on the show respectively.
