Golden Globes 2013: And The Winner Is…

Awards season has kicked off with a bang and last night’s Golden Globes kept the glitz, glamour and drama at a high...

Christoph Waltz and Maggie Smith were early winners on the night, scooping up the supporting-actor Golden Globe for Waltz’s role as a bounty hunter who takes on an ex-slave as an apprentice in Django Unchained.

The prize for musical score went to Mychael Danna for the lost-at-sea tale Life of Pi, who said he wanted to share the award with the film’s director, Ang Lee.

“Ang, I will always treasure this voyage we made together,” Danna said. “Thank for guiding us all to shore safely.”

Homeland’s British actor Damian Lewis received the TV drama actor Globe.

“I’d like to dedicate this to my mum, looking down on me bursting with pride telling everyone around her how well her son is doing in acting,” Lewis said.
