Red carpet fashion from the Golden Globes
Kate Winslet and Slumdog Millionaire have made it a big night for Brits at the Golden Globes in Hollywood. Winslet scooped two awards including best actress in a dramatic film and Sally Hawkins picked up a gong for best performance in a musical or comedy for her role in Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky. But it was the story of how impoverished Indian teen Jamal Malik became a contestant on the Hindi version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire that proved the biggest winner - taking home four trophies including best dramatic film. There was early success for Winslet when she was announced winner of best supporting actress for her role as a former concentration camp guard in The Reader. "You have to forgive me as I have a habit of not winning," the actress said as she rolled off a list of names she wished to thank. But her statement proved not to be true as she was called to the stage a second time to pick up best actress in a dramatic role for Revolutionary Road, which saw her reunited with her Titanic co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. Fresh from receiving a handful of awards at the Critics' Choice Awards last week, Slumdog Millionaire continued to storm Hollywood. It took home the prestigious title of best dramatic film. In so doing it triumphed over Winslet's Revolutionary Road and The Reader, Frost/Nixon and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. There was also awards for its director Danny Boyle, screenplay writer Simon Beaufoy and musical composer AR Rahman. Collecting his trophy, Boyle thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organisers of the awards. He added: "Your mad, pulsating affection for our film is much appreciated." Elsewhere there was success for Mickey Rourke who won best actor in a dramatic film for The Wrestler and Steven Spielberg who picked up the Cecil B DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. The late Heath Ledger, who died of an overdose in New York last January, received a posthumous standing ovation after being named best supporting actor for his role as the Joker in Batman movie The Dark Knight.
