It
was a good night for Britain last night at the 64th
Annual Golden Globes Awards which took place in
Beverly Hills, California, with Helen Mirren reigning
supreme, picking up the top acting honours in both the big
and small screen, and for portraying two of Britain's greatest
monarchs - Queen Elizabeth II in The
Queen (Best Actress in a Drama Motion Picture),
and Elizabeth I, the TV mini-series for
which she also received a Best Actress award. The
Queen also won Best Screenplay whilst
another British Actor, Jeremy Irons, won Best
Supporting Actor for Elizabeth I,
which was also named best Miniseries or TV Movie.
Other British winners included Sacha
Cohen who was named Best Film Actor in
a Musical or Comedy for Borat.
For TV, Hugh Laurie's role in House won
him Best Actor in a Drama, and Bill
Nighy and Emily Blunt both scored
a hit with Gideon's Daughter, being named Best
Actor and Best Supporting Actress in
a Mini-series or Movie.
While Babel was named Best
Drama Picture, is Martin Scorsese's Best
Director win for The Departed an
indication that his long Oscar drought might soon be quenched?
There was a first time win as Best Supporting Actor for Eddie
Murphy, coming in from the cold to regain his
Hollywood crown in Dreamgirls. The film,
which stars Beyonce Knowles and
is loosely based around the Diana Ross and the
Supremes story, also won in the Best Musical
or Comedy Motion Picture Category.
There was also a return to form for Alec
Baldwin, who picked up Best Actor in a
TV Musical or Comedy for 30 Rock,
but top acting honours went to Forest Whitaker who
was named Best Film Actor in a Drama for
his tour de force turn as Idi Amin in The Last
King of Scotland.
It's new to our shores, but the surprise
hit Ugly Betty was named Best TV
Comedy, with it's star, America Ferrera,
winning Best Actress in a TV Comedy or Musical. Grey's
Anatomy won Best TV Drama.
Other winners included Meryl Streep as Best
Film Actress in a Musical or Comedy, for her 'boss
from hell' turn in The Devil Wears Prada,
whilst Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima was
named Best Foreign Language Film. Cars picked
