Golden Globe Awards: Winners and highlights

Queen movie Bohemian Rhapsody was the surprise winner of two major prizes at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards.

The Freddie Mercury biopic took home the trophies for best film drama and best drama actor for its star Rami Malek, who played the late frontman.

Despite being heavily tipped and nominated for five prizes, A Star Is Born took home just one award - best original song for Shallow.

Green Book was the night's other big film winner, scooping three prizes.

It won best musical or comedy film, best screenplay and best supporting actor for Mahershala Ali.

Bryan Singer's "Bohemian Rhapsody" has been a worldwide box-office smash but has received mostly lukewarm reviews from critics. Its Golden Globe success may boost its chances for Oscar nominations, to be announced January 22.

The Globes honour the year's best in movies and TV and are voted on by the 90 or so members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, whose choices are often quirkier than those of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. But as the first awards show of the season, the Globes have an outsized influence on Academy Award predictions -- and voting on Oscar nominees begins Monday.

The Globes always split the best-picture nominees into two categories: drama and musical/comedy. That made for some head-scratching this year when two movies about music, "A Star is Born" and "Bohemian Rhapsody," were nominated as dramas.

Sunday's awards were spread far and wide, with few movies or TV series winning more than once. But the show had its share of surprises.

The show was hosted by Oh and Samberg. The hosts avoided politics in their opening comments and also there was no mention of President Trump or the government shutdown, although the pair made jokes about identity politics and cultural appropriation. They also alluded to the (as of now) host-less Academy Awards, joking about holding a contest in which "one lucky audience member will host the Oscars."
