Significantly, Iran took its first Golden Globe for Asghar Farhadi’s A Separation. Sidney Poitier also presented the Cecil B. DeMille Award to Morgan Freeman. The Adventures of Tintin won best animated feature, which I have to agree, edging out Disney, Pixar and favourite Rango.
On the small screen, Homeland was the biggest winner with a gong for Best Television Series – Drama, and a nod for actress Claire Danes.
