Golden Globes Awards Winners Announced – Les Mis, Argo & Homeland top the List

Last night, the 70^th Golden Globes were held over in the US, celebrating some of the finest work across film and television in the past year.

Joe was on hand last night to follow events as they happened – you can recap on his live blog of the night here – and we have the official list of winners for you below.

Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables took away the most prizes on the big screen last night, winning three, with Ben Affleck’s Argo and Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained coming away with two awards apiece.

HBO were arguably the biggest winners on the small screen, with Game Change and Girls coming away with three and two awards respectively, and Showtime took a healthy two awards as well for Homeland.

Every year, we look to awards like the Golden Globes to predict how things might turn out just over a month later at the Oscars – the Oscar nominations were announced during the week – and there were some stand-out awards that we imagine might be following in a similar style next month for the Academy Awards.

Anne Hathaway, as predicted, came away with Best Supporting Actress, which we’re rather hoping will be repeated at the end of February. Michael Haneke’s Amour won the Best Foreign Language Film award, and given the universal praise it’s been receiving, it looks likely to do it again next month.

Ben Affleck’s work behind the camera on Argo landed him the very well-deserved Best Director award, beating out competition from Kathryn Bigelow, Steven Spielberg, Ang Lee, and Quentin Tarantino. Unfortunately, there won’t be a repeat performance next month, because whilst Argo is up for Best Picture, Affleck was criminally under-recognised in the Best Director category, and didn’t make the final shortlist. So we’re very glad to see that he won here, and I’m personally hoping that Argo will walk away from the Oscars with the Best Picture statue in hand.
