- Summary
Seth Meyers hosted the 75th annual Golden Globes ceremony in Beverly Hills
It was the first major awards ceremony since the Hollywood sexual harassment scandals
Stars wore black in support of the Time's Up movement
Winners include Elisabeth Moss, Laura Dern and Nicole Kidman
Britons Gary Oldman, Ewan McGregor and Martin McDonagh among other winners
The Golden Globes are run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and honour the best in TV and film
The 75th Golden Globes are done and dusted, so here are the main things we'll take away from the evening.
It was all very political. Practically every winner - and quite a few presenters too - used their moment in the spotlight to pay tribute to women who have spoken out against sexual harassment, call time on the Hollywood status quo or comment on gender pay disparity in the entertainment industry.

The 75th Golden Globes are done and dusted, so here are the main things we'll take away from the evening.
It was all very political. Practically every winner - and quite a few presenters too - used their moment in the spotlight to pay tribute to women who have spoken out against sexual harassment, call time on the Hollywood status quo or comment on gender pay disparity in the entertainment industry.
The most powerful speech of the night came from special honoree Oprah Winfrey, who spoke passionately and eloquently in support of a free press, women "speaking their truth" and "a new day dawning on the horizon".
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Big Little Lies were the big winners, taking home four awards apiece. The former won acting awards for Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell, while the latter saw three of its cast members - Nicole Kidman, Alexander Skarsgard and Laura Dern - recognised.
It was an okay night for the Brits, with awards for Gary Oldman, Ewan McGregor and Three Billboards' Martin McDonagh.
From a fashion point of view, black was very much in. Barely anyone dared to deviate from the unofficial dress code, making for something of a sombre evening sartorially.
Seth Meyers started well with an opening monologue full of zingers against Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey. As the evening went on, though, he increasingly became a peripheral presence who often found himself having to talk over a chatty crowd who clearly had better things to do than listen to his links.
At just over three hours, the evening felt long, earnest and a little worthy. Past Globes, particularly those hosted by Ricky Gervais, have been characterised by their looser atmosphere and alcohol-fuelled levity. This year, though, there was little room - or indeed enthusiasm - for letting it rip.
