The British contingent fared well at this years' low-key Golden Globes.
British romantic drama 'Atonement' won best picture. The movie, starring Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, took top honours at a press conference in Los Angeles. But the lavish red carpet ceremony was cancelled because of the ongoing writers' strike, meaning none of the stars were present. The honours were announced at a low-key media event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel without any of the stars being present.
Other winners included Daniel Day-Lewis who won best actor for the role of an oil tycoon in There Will Be Blood. The bloody 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' was chosen as best musical or comedy, while its star, Johnny Depp, won for best actor in a musical or comedy. And British actress Julie Christie won the best actress Golden Globe for her role as an Alzheimer's sufferer in 'Away From Her.'
The television winners included British actress Samantha Morton, who took the best supporting TV actress gong for her role in 'Longford'. The Channel 4 programme, which explored the relationship between Moors Murderer Myra Hindley and prisons campaigner Lord Longford, was the night's biggest winner. It also won best TV mini-series or film, and best actor for Jim Broadbent. It was a good night for Briton Ricky Gervais too, whose TV show 'Extras' was named best musical or comedy TV series.
