The Social Network and The Kids Are All Right bag top prizes at the Golden Globes

The 68th annual Golden Globe Awards took place last night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, with David Fincher's The Social Network and Lisa Cholodenko's The Kids Are All Right taking home the Best Motion Picture awards in the Drama and Musical or Comedy categories respectively. It was a particularly good night for Fincher, who also claimed the Best Director gong, and he must now surely be a strong favourite for the same award when the Oscars are handed out on February 27th.

Meanwhile host Ricky Gervais seemed to upset a number of the Hollywood stars in attendance with his edgy and scathing humour (quite what the organisers expected when hiring him remains a mystery), while fellow Brit Colin Firth was named Best Actor for his turn as King George VI in Tom Hooper's period drama The King's Speech.
