The stars were out in force at last night’s Golden Globe Awards ceremony as historical drama 12 Years a Slave and crime caper American Hustle clinched the top honours.
Nominated seven times on the night, 12 Years looked certain to walk away empty handed but ended up landing the crucial Best Film (Drama) award.
In contrast, Hustle won three categories including Best Film (Comedy/Musical) while stars Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence were awarded Best Actress (Comedy/Musical) and Best Supporting Actress respectively.
Matthew McConaughey was the surprise winner of Best Actor (Drama) for his role in Dallas Buyers Club with his co-star Jared Leto securing Best Supporting Actor.
Cate Blanchett eased to Best Actress (Drama) for her performance in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine. The renowned director (who didn’t attend the ceremony) was the recipient of this year’s Cecil B. DeMille award for his exceptional film career.
Leonardo Di-Caprio won Best Actor (Comedy/Musical) for Martin Scorsese’s controversial The Wolf of Wall Street while Alfonso Cuaron was named Best Director for his work on Gravity.
Her, Frozen, All is Lost and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom were amongst the rest of the key winners on the night.
