The night’s first award went to Ms. Kidman, who won best actress in a television movie or limited series. “Power of women!” she said, holding up her Globe and name checking her female co-stars. Ms. Kidman won for her role in “Big Little Lies,” in which she plays a battered wife who summons the courage to leave her husband. Her co-star Alexander Skarsgard won for best supporting actor, and the show won for best limited series or TV movie.

As expected, Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel about the repression of women, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” matched its best drama win last year at the Emmy Awards. Elisabeth Moss, who stars in that series, also repeated her Emmys win, collecting the trophy for best actress in a drama. The “This Is Us” star Sterling K. Brown was named best dramatic actor, the first time in Globes history that a black man had won that prize.

“You wrote a role for a black man that could only be played by a black man,” Mr. Brown said in his speech, thanking the “This Is Us” creator, Dan Fogelman, for creating his part. “I am being seen for who I am, and being appreciated for who I am, and it makes it that much more difficult to dismiss me or dismiss anybody who looks like me.”</s>Lady Bird has won Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy at the 2018 Golden Globes.

The movie has been nominated for Best Motion Picture (Drama) at the Golden Globes this year. It has also earned six Golden Globe nominations–Best Motion Picture (Drama), Best Director (Martin McDonagh), Best Actress (Drama) for Frances McDormand, Best Supporting Actor (Drama) for Sam Rockwell, Best Screenplay (Martin McDonagh) and for Best Original Score (Carter Burwell).

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, revolves around the story of a mother who takes the law in her own hands while trying to find and punish the culprits who raped and killed her teenage daughter. Mildred Hayes, the grieving mother, is portrayed with painful clarity by the always wonderful Frances McDormand. Frances’ character is emotionally alive in her moments of grief and her attempts at reconciliation with her tragedy.

Frances’ character is brilliantly supported by Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson. Sam plays Officer Dixon and Woody plays Sheriff Bill Willoughby, both are upset over the fact that Frances’ character has decided to question the investigation of her daughter’s death by putting up three billboards, one of which directly accuses Woody’s character of inaction.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri–strange as it may seem–has moments of comic relief as well. Especially when Mildred decides to ‘go after’ everyone remotely related to her daughter’s death and the follow-up investigation.

The movie has been written, produced and directed by Martin McDonagh. Martin has previously directed The Second Death, In Bruges, and Seven Psychopaths.

What can help the movie win the Best Motion Picture (Drama) despite being put up against the likes of Dunkirk and The Post is its originality, a perfect score, and powerful performances.

And Sam Taylor-Johnson, 50, put on a very cosy display with her husband Aaron, 27, at the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards, in Los Angeles on Sunday.

With her partner's hand wrapped firmly around her waist, the Fifty Shades Of Grey director teased a glimpse of her eye-popping cleavage thanks to the semi-sheer floral lace neckline of her evening attire.

The British filmmaker flaunted her slender legs in the high-cut split of her floor-length dress when she graced the red carpet with her man.

Accentuating her youthful beauty, the director of Netflix series Gypsy wore deftly touches of eye make-up and a shade of pink lipstick for a bright pop of colour.

The golden-haired beauty looked happier than ever on the arm of dapper actor Aaron, who donned a black tuxedo and bow tie for the occasion.

Sam and Aaron later headed to HFPA 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards as they continued the star-studded party with a whole host of Hollywood's elite.

The lovebirds raise their two young children, seven-year-old Wylda Rae and five-year-old Romy, together at their glamorous home.

Sam is also mother to 20-year-old Angelica and 12-year-old Jessie from her first marriage to Jay Jopling.

The mother-of-four was married to the art dealer in 1997 but they decided to go their separate ways for good in 2008.

Sam moved on her heartache with Aaron and the filmmaker defiantly defended her choice to marry a man 23 years her senior in June 2017.

'If I gave a second thought to other people, I would be the unhappiest person, probably still in a miserable marriage,' she told The Hollywood Reporter.

'People like to talk about it. I'm like, "Yeah, but it works better than my last marriage". It's lasted longer than a lot of my friends' marriages.'

The Brits are flying high in the nominations stakes ahead of the 75th Golden Globe Awards.

Netflix series The Crown - which chronicles the life of Queen Elizabeth II from the 1940s to more modern times - has scooped three nominations, while Londoner Daniel Kaluuya also received a nod for his role in Get Out.

Christopher Nolan, the genius behind acclaimed war drama Dunkirk, is up for Best Director, while the esteemed movie is also in the running for Best Drama Motion Picture, and Best Original Score.

Nolan will go head-to-head with fellow Brit Ridley Scott in the Director category, who is nominated for All the Money in the World while British-Irish playwright Martin McDonagh will also be pitted against the directing heavyweights for his crime drama Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Gary Oldman will fly the flag for the Brits in the otherwise American-dominated Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for Darkest Hour.

The awards have offered The Crown the chance to repeat history, after the Netflix series scooped the Best TV Series - Drama gong at the 2017 ceremony. The show will once again go up against Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, This Is Us and The Handmaid's Tale.

Claire Foy could once again get her hands on the Best Performance by an Actress in a TV series - Drama prize, having been shortlisted for a second time following on from her win in 2017.

While fans of Daniel Kaluuya have rejoiced at the actor being nominated for his role in the thriller, the positioning of his nomination has been met with some controversy after being listed in the Comedy and Musical movie category, despite it being categorised as a horror when it was first released.

Among the contenders in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy category are veteran actresses Judi Dench, for Victoria & Abdul, and Helen Mirren for The Leisure Seeker.

Jude Law has been shortlisted in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for his leading role in The Young Pope, in which he plays the first American pope in history, Pius XIII aka Lenny Belardo.

He will go up against Scottish star Ewan McGregor - who is nominated for Fargo - as well as long-time American actor Robert De Niro.

David Thewliss - of Harry Potter and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas fame - has been nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for his role as V. M. Varga in Fargo.

Alfred Molina is nominated in the same category for Feud: Bette and Joan, in which he portrays legendary movie director Robert Aldrich.
