Hollywood’s biggest stars were on hand for the 80th Golden Globes, which saw The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin take home the top prizes in film, and House of the Dragon, Abbott Elementary and The White Lotus reigned supreme in television. Hosted by Jerrod Carmichael, the ceremony aired on NBC for the first time since 2021.

Steven Spielberg was one of the biggest winners of the night, winning Best Director and Best Motion Picture – Drama for his semi-autobiographical passion project, The Fabelmans. Martin McDonagh matched Spielberg with two wins, Best Screenplay and Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, for The Banshees of Inisherin. McDonagh’s star in Banshees, Colin Farrell, took home Best Actor – Musical or Comedy while Austin Butler won Best Actor – Drama for his turn as Elvis Presley in Elvis.

Dark Matter season 2’s most interesting question may be what comes after Amanda and Daniela’s choices
Amanda and Daniela made their choices. Season 2 is exploring what happens when those choices aren't enough.
Clothing, Coat, Jacket

For all its quantum mechanics and competing realities, Dark Matter has always been less interested in the choices people make than in what happens once they have to live with them.

Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton) remains the character around whom most of those choices orbit. Season 1 began when an alternate version of the Chicago physicist, Jason2, abducted him and crossed into his world to take over the life he believed he should have had. That life included Daniela (Jennifer Connelly), Jason's wife and the mother of their teenage son, Charlie. The abduction also brought Jason into the life of Amanda (Alice Braga), a psychiatrist who worked on the Box project in Jason2's reality and had been romantically involved with him.
