The previous best for most wins by a film was six – for 1975’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and 1978’s Midnight Express.
Four other films have won five awards – Doctor Zhivago, Love Story, The Godfather and A Star Is Born.
The fact that La La Land was the big winner is no surprise. But the style in which it dominated the film awards was utterly convincing and bodes well for the Oscars.
But there were some surprises. Isabelle Huppert winning best film drama actress. Aaron Taylor-Johnson for best film supporting actor.
Moonlight’s best film drama award was not a surprise at such, but many didn’t think a small indie film about growing up gay and black in Miami could overcome the more heavyweight Manchester By The Sea.
And in the TV categories, there were plenty of British winners from The Night Manager and The Crown to cheer.
The other feature of the night – while his name may not have been mentioned out loud much, there were lots of references to Donald Trump. Some were coded, some less so.
Let’s hope Hugh Laurie’s prediction that this was the last ever Golden Globes – which are organised by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – doesn’t come true.
Here is the full list of winners on the night.(In bold are the winners)
