Ben Affleck should have a big smile on his face this morning, having picked up Best Director for Argo at the Golden Globe Awards, while the movie also won Best Film, Drama. They weren’t the only ones with reasons to be happy, as Les Miserables got the Best Film, Musical Or Comedy gong, while Hugh Jackman got Best Actor, Musical Or Comedy and Anne Hathaway swiped Best Supporting Actress for the movie.
In other acting categories, Daniel Day-Lewis was feted for Lincoln in the Best Actor, Drama category, Jessica Chastain won Best Actress, Drama for Zero Dark Thirty, Jennifer Lawrence got Best Actress, Musical Or Comedy for Silver Linings Playbook, while Christoph Waltz bagged Best Supporting Actor for Django Unchained.
The only British winner amongst the film nominees was Adele, who picked up Best Original Song for Skyfall. However us Brits did better in the TV categories, with Damien Lewis winning Best TV Series Actor, Drama for Homeland, and Maggie Smith picking up a Best Supporting Actress award for Downton Abbey.
The most talked about moment of the night though was probably Jodie Foster picking up The Cecil B. Demille lifetime achievement award, where she acknowledged fully for the first time that she is a lesbian. It’s something that’s been known for a long time, and she did tangentially talk about it in a 2007 speech where she thanked her then female partner, but this is the first time she’s dealt with it head on – although her speech suggested that in an ideal world she’d keep the information private.
Take a look below for the full list of winners.
