Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical epic “The Fabelmans” has officially taken home the top prize at the 80th Annual Golden Globes Awards, picking up the Best Motion Picture, Drama statuette. The award, the final one of the evening, was presented to Spielberg and his cast by fellow filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, IndieWire reported.

Spielberg’s film was up against a stacked assortment of other nominees, including Todd Field’s “TÁR,” Joseph Kosinski’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water,” and Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis.” The win, arguably the biggest of the evening, was not the only Globe that Spielberg took home at the Los Angeles event: earlier in the ceremony, he also picked up Best Director for his helming of the deeply personal story that loosely dramatizes his own upbringing.

Spielberg is a frequent Golden Globe nominee and winner, and tonight’s wins mark his eighth and ninth wins, respectively. He’s also no stranger to racking up both Best Director and Best Motion Picture, Drama wins at the ceremony: he previously did just that with his “Schindler’s List” and “Saving Private Ryan” in 1994 and 1999.

Jerrod Carmichael, an Emmy winner for his standup comedy special “Rothaniel,” hosted the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards. This year’s Globes saw the ceremony, usually the second most popular film award show after the Oscars, return from hiatus after NBC canceled its broadcast of the 79th awards last year after repeated controversies plagued the awards body.
