Britain has notched up the most number of wins at the Golden Globe Awards in a decade, bagging a total of six awards.
Olivia Colman and Richard Madden were among the big winners at the ceremony in the most successful year since 2009, the year of Slumdog Millionaire, when Britain had a total of seven wins.
Christian Bale scored the best actor in a musical or comedy for his role as the former vice president Dick Cheney in Vice, and Ben Whishaw was honoured in the best supporting actor in a limited series or TV movie category for playing Norman Scott in A Very English Scandal.
Music producer Mark Ronson won the best original song prize for Shallow from A Star Is Born, which he co-wrote with Lady Gaga and American musicians Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt.
Colman thanked her co-stars Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz, who she referred to as “ma bitches”, while telling the audience: “I would like to tell you how much working on this film meant to me but I can’t remember because I’m too excited.”
Scottish actor Madden paid tribute to the cast and crew of TV hit Bodyguard as he collected his prize, including co-star Keeley Hawes and writer Jed Mercurio.
He said: “Thank you Satan, for giving me inspiration for this role.”
Meanwhile, Whishaw thanked the BBC for continuing to make “idiosyncratic and powerful work”.
Another big winner was Green Book, which tells the story of jazz pianist Don Shirley’s concert tour through the segregated Deep South in the 1960s.
The film won the best musical or comedy award, as well as best screenplay and best supporting actor for Mahershala Ali, who portrays Shirley.
Glenn Close triumphed in the best actress in a drama category for The Wife, while Regina King won best supporting actress for If Beale Street Could Talk.
The ceremony was hosted by Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg, who largely stayed away from political topics.
They joked they had been chosen to host due to being the only people left in Hollywood who have not got in trouble for “saying something offensive”.
While last year’s ceremony saw the majority of women wearing black for the launch of the Time’s Up movement for gender equality, this year a smaller number of women wore wristbands for Time’s Up X 2, encouraging companies to double the number of women in decision-making positions.
The show, written by Briton Phoebe Waller-Bridge, was also nominated for best drama series, alongside Bodyguard, but lost out to The Americans, which picked up the prize for its final series.
