Winner: In a major upset, Sam Mendes’ World War I movie 1917 won best motion picture drama at the Golden Globes in LA on Sunday night, beating Joker, The Irishman and Marriage Story, while Olivia Colman won for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Drama for The Crown

Mendes based 1917 in part on his own grandfather’s story and the movie is shot to make it appear as though it happens in a single take, with critics lauding the bold move. 

In his speech, he remarked that he hoped the win would encourage people to ‘turn up and see this on the big screen for which it was intended.’

Phoebe took home the Globes for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy, and Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy.

It follows her huge wins for Fleabag at the Emmy Awards in September. She began her best actress acceptance speech by thanking her season 2 co-star and ‘hot priest’ Andrew Scott, who was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.

In her gushing tribute, Phoebe explained: ‘This really comes down to Andrew Scott, really. He can have chemistry with a pebble and I was his pebble in this.’

Olivia Colman already had two Golden Globes to her name going into Sunday night’s awards show – for The Night Manager and The Favourite.

The actress seemed genuinely surprised when her name was announced as the winner of the best performance by an actress in a TV drama series for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in the third season of the Netflix show. 

She told the star-studded crowd inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel’s ballroom: ‘I had money on this not happening, For the last year I feel like I’ve been living someone else’s life, and I’ve definitely won someone else’s award’.

Then, at a loss for words, she confessed: ‘I genuinely got a little bit boozy because I thought this wasn’t going to happen… I‘m completely stumped.’

The Elton John biopic Rocketman was another big British winner, snagging Golden Globes for star Taron Egerton and for Elton John and Bernie Taupin for their original song for the movie.

First time nominee Egerton beat out established stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Eddie Murphy to win the Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy for Rocketman.

The 30-year-old actor, who stars as Elton John in the film, said that the role ‘has changed my life.’

He added: ‘It’s been the best experience of my life. I’m so proud of this film.’

He concluded his speech by brandishing his award and saying: ‘My mother’s in here somewhere – this one’s for you mam!’

Elton and longtime songwriting partner Bernie took the stage together to accept the Golden Globe for their song I’m Gonna Love Me Again. Elton noted: ‘It’s the first time I’ve ever won an award with him. We never won a Grammy, we never got anything together.’

Elton previously won a Golden Globe with Tim Rice for their Lion King song Can You Feel The Love Tonight.

Scottish-born actor Brian Cox also won his first Golden Globe in a career that, he noted in his speech, spans 60 years.  

He took home the trophy for his role in HBO’s Succession, which also won the award for best TV drama series.

‘First of all, I want to apologize to my fellow nominees for winning this. I mean, I’m sorry. And that’s all I can say. I’m sorry, but I never expected this,’ Cox, 73, said. ‘I just never thought this would ever happen to me so I’m a wee bit shocked.’
