Brits are the toast of the Golden Globes
Helen Mirren and Sacha Baron Cohen walk away with two of the big awards.
Jan 16 2007
The Brits were victorious at this year's Golden Globes, with Helen Mirren walking away with the best actress in a drama award for 'The Queen', Peter Morgan winning the best screenplay award for the same film and Sacha Baron Cohen picking up best actor in a musical or comedy for 'Borat'.
Elsewhere, the awards blew the field wide open for the Academy Awards, with 'Babel' being named best drama, 'Dreamgirls' best musical or comedy, 'Letters From Iwo Jima' best foreign film and Martin Scorsese best director for 'The Departed'. Any of these films could pick up the big prizes come Oscar time.
It was Cohen who stole the show however, referring to Borat's man-on-man wrestle in his acceptance speech by saying 'When I was in that scene and I stared down and saw two wrinkled golden globes on my chin, I thought to myself "I'd better win a bloody award for this".'
