At the 2024 Golden Globes, the competition for best limited or anthology series has come to a conclusion — and Beef took home the glory, sweeping for the evening!

Beef, which starts with an entertaining road-rage incident between Steven Yeun and Ali Wong's characters, becomes something far more as it progresses.

In the event's aftermath, the main characters find their lives intertwined in unexpected ways and explore the complex push and pull between the shackles of cultural expectations and being one's real self.

Ahead of Sunday's awards, both Yeun, 40, and Wong, 41, won best performance by a male actor and female actor in a limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for television. It marked their first Golden Globe nominations and wins.

As she and her father, played by Mark Ruffalo, struggle to keep the item out of Nazi hands, they take up refuge with a great-uncle, portrayed by Hugh Laurie, who illegally broadcasts messages of resistance via the radio. The radio gives way to an unexpected friendship when Marie-Laure meets Louis Hofmann's Werner, a Nazi regime radio broadcaster, whose job is to intercept messages of resistance.

All the Light We Cannot See also features a stellar acting debut from Loberti, a blind PhD student who landed the role from among the hundreds of women who auditioned.

Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's best-selling novel of the same name, Daisy Jones and The Six details the rise and fall of a fictional '70s rock band — loosely inspired by Fleetwood Mac — revolving around Riley Keough's Daisy Jones and Sam Claflin's Billy Dunne.

Structured like a documentary, Daisy Jones & The Six sees the band members reflecting on their glory days decades after they all went their separate ways.

Keough, 34, and Claflin, 37, were also nominated for best performance by a female and male actor in a limited series, anthology series or a motion picture made for television.

Keough previously told PEOPLE that her mother Lisa Marie Presley's career was a source of inspiration for performance, explaining she was "raised by somebody who did their own thing and didn't really care what other people thought."

Temple, 34, and Jon Hamm, who plays the preacher and sheriff, were both nominated for best female actor and male actor in a limited series, anthology series or a motion picture made for television.
