Golden Globes 2023: 'The Banshees of Inisherin' wins Best Screenplay

'The Banshees of Inisherin' was feted with with Best Screenplay, Motion Picture at the ongoing 80th Golden Globe Awards here.

The film was competing in the category against 'Tar', 'Everything Everywhere All at Once', 'Women Talking' and 'The Fabelmans'.

Martin McDonagh, who has directed, written, and co-produced film, joked while taking the honour on stage.
