The biggest stars of film and television came together for last night’s Golden Globe awards ceremony which provided plenty of entertainment and political talk.

On the big-screen side of things, history was made by the romantic musical La La Land as it swept its way to a stunning seven wins out of seven including the coveted Best Film (Comedy/Musical) award.

The overwhelming Oscar favourite also secured victories for actors Ryan Gosling (Best Actor in a Comedy / Musical) and Emma Stone (Best Actress in a Comedy / Musical) while filmmaker Damien Chazelle celebrated a double success in Best Director and Best Screenplay. It also landed Best Original Score for composer Justin Hurwitz and Best Original Song.

The win tally was the most given to a film and beats a record previously held by One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) and Midnight Express (1978).

La La Land’s dominance meant that other contenders struggled to get much notice albeit the coming-of-age drama Moonlight did clinch the crucial Best Film (Drama) accolade. The win came at the expense of Hacksaw Ridge, Hell or High Water, Lion and Manchester by the Sea.

Elsewhere the French thriller Elle secured two major wins including Best Foreign Language Film. Leading lady Isabelle Huppert pulled off a surprise victory in Best Actress (Drama) ahead of stern favourites Amy Adams (Arrival) and Natalie Portman (Jackie).

Casey Affleck continued his dominant run of wins by landing Best Actor (Drama) for his lead role in the indie-drama Manchester by the Sea. Another performer who looks a surefire favourite for Oscar success is Viola Davis as she was named Best Supporting Actress for the family drama Fences.

There was a big upset in Best Supporting Actor as rank outsider Aaron Taylor-Johnson picked up the award for Nocturnal Animals ahead of the much-fancied Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) on what turned out to be the only British (film) success on the night. The Disney hit Zootopia deservedly won Best Animated Film ahead of the likes of Kubo and the Two Strings and Moana.

However the biggest talking point of the night came from the legendary Meryl Streep as she became the latest recipient of the Cecile B. DeMille award. The nine-time Golden Globe-winning actress delivered an emotional speech which saw her take aim at president-elect Donald Trump who later ridiculed her on Twitter.
