So what did you miss from the Golden Globes 2015? Here are the main talking points.
Eddie Redmayne was the man of the moment at the Golden Globes 2015 after scooping the best actor in a movie drama award.
The Theory Of Everything star – who now looks on course for Bafta and Oscar victory for his portrayal of scientist Stephen Hawking – melted hearts at the ceremony for mentioning his new wife Hannah Bagshawe in his speech.
Eddie, who married Hannah just before Christmas, told the packed ballroom at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, he said: “Hannah, my wife of a couple of weeks, we had to cut our honeymoon short so I would like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (who vote for the awards) for giving us a night at the end of our honeymoon that we will remember.”
The actor also paid tribute to Stephen Hawking, saying the time he spent with him “was one of the great honours of my life”.
Michael Keaton now looks like Eddie’s main competition at the Oscars after he won best actor in a movie comedy or musical for his portrayal of a failing Hollywood star on the verge of a breakdown in Birdman.
Boyhood – Richard Linklater’s film shot over 12 years – was the big winner of the night, picking up best movie drama, best supporting actress for Patricia Arquette and best director.
Julianne Moore scooped the best actress in a movie drama gong for her deeply moving portrayal of a professor struck down by early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in Still Alice and best supporting actor went to JK Simmons for his terrifying performances as a jazz tutor in Whiplash.
Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel starring Ralph Fiennes won best musical or comedy.
Meanwhile, in the TV categories The Affair, starring Brits Ruth Wilson and Dominic West, and Fargo starring Martin Freeman, both picked up several gongs a piece.
Downton Abbey star Joanne Froggatt beat Hollywood heavyweights like Kathy Bates and Allison Janney to take home best supporting actress in a TV series for her role as Anna Bates and she stood on stage looking stunned before saying: “This is the most shocking moment of my life.”
And Kevin Spacey stayed in character to collect his best actor in a TV drama Globe for his role as scheming politician Frank Underwood in House of Cards.
The actor, who won a gong for the first time after eight nominations, said: “This is just the beginning of my revenge.”
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler returned to host the awards for the third year in a row and got the show off to a roaring pace with their hilarious monologue, in which they called the assembled stars “despicable, spoiled, minimally talented brats.”
The pair even made a series of jokes about allegations of sexual abuse by comedian Bill Cosby without losing the crowd.
And style award of the night went to George Clooney’s new wife Amal, who arrived at the ceremony in black Dior couture with white elbow length gloves.
The newlywed accompanied husband George down the red carpet channelling old school Hollywood glamour and ensured long gloves are now at the top of every awards show wish list.
