Brits dominated the night as The Crown came away with multiple awards during the night, including Best Actor in a TV Series which went to Josh O’Connor, 30, who plays Prince Charles to Emma’s Lady Di.

She also skewered Rudy Giuliani as she referenced the infamous scene from the Borat sequel starring Maria Bakalova.
She quipped: ‘In my movie, I had to swim up from a sinking car… I think I still would rather do that than be in a room with Rudy Giuliani. So, Maria, I salute your brilliance and your bravery.’

Laura Dern presented the first award of the night and Daniel’s moment was almost ruined when he experienced technical difficulties during his win.
The camera cut back to Laura as Daniel’s audio seemed to not be working before he was then immediately shown back on the broadcast.
Daniel became teary eyed during his acceptance speech as he said: ‘Man this took it out of me – I gave it everything.
He said: ‘Can you hear me now? All right, cool. We got this. Thank you for the accolade, thank you to my mom, my sister, my niece. Yo, I used to listen to a song, I used to listen to a song before every speech. Thank you for “The game is mine.’
‘I want to thank, it takes a village to raise a film, I would like to thank our leader, for your vision and collaboration, and Ryan — and Charles King, everyone at macro, like to thank Warner Bros., and I like to thank the incredible cast, you know, I stand with you, my bro.
‘All the crew, all the cast, the rest of the cast and my comrades, all the crew in Cleveland, we have done it.’

Rounding out the Brit wins was Argentine-British actress Anya Taylor-Joy, who won Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series for The Queen’s Gambit and Sacha Baron Cohen, who took home the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.
The 78th Golden Globe Awards was originally due to take place in early January but was postponed until Sunday February 28 as Hollywood continues to adjust to the coronavirus pandemic and new safety guidelines.
