'The Aviator', 'Sideways' and 'Million Dollar Baby' were the big winners at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

As chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Globes are normally a good indication of what will win come Academy Award-time, and it looks like the above three will be duking it out for the big Oscars come the end of February.

In the 'Drama' category, 'The Aviator' was named best film, Hilary Swank won best actress for 'Million Dollar Baby', while Leonardo DiCaprio was named best actor for his work in 'The Aviator'.

The 'Musical/Comedy' section saw 'Sideways' win best film, Annette Bening enjoy victory in the best actress category for 'Being Julia' and red-hot Oscar favourite Jamie Foxx taking home the best actor award for 'Ray'.

Clint Eastwood was named the year's best director for 'Million Dollar Baby', while 'Closer' dominated the supporting actor categories, with wins for Natalie Portman and our very own Clive Owen.

Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart also kept the British end up by winning the 'Best Original Song' award for 'Old Habits Die Hard' from the 'Alfie' soundtrack.

Robin Williams meanwhile, received the Cecil B DeMille Award for lifetime achievement and dedicated it to his friend, the late Christopher Reeve.
