The Barbie film lead the nominations on Sunday night, but came home with a total of six wins.
It’s Barbenheimer counterpart, Oppenheimer scored eight awards, including Best Picture.
Barbie also won for Original Screenplay, Production Design, Costume Design, Hair and Makeup.
Speaking to writer-director Greta Gerwig from the stage, upon accepting the award for Best Original Song, songwriter Mark Ronson said: “The fact that you carved out 11 minutes for this prog rock power ballad dream ballet shredfest so that the boys could cry and hold hands a little too, we are really forever in your debt for that.”
