The 78th Golden Globes was hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, returning for the fourth time, after hosting in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Here's how the ceremony unfolded.
Fey and Poehler shared duties from their respective cities, with Fey live from New York's Rainbow Room, with Poehler based at the Beverly Hilton, in Beverly Hills, and nominees at various locations around the world.
As it happened:
The Frances McDormand-starring Nomadland picked up its second award of the night - and the Golden Globe's most prestigious - when it was announced as the winner in the Best Motion Picture - Drama category.
For her role as the legendary singer, Andra Day has won the Golden Globe award in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama for her performance in The United States vs Billie Holiday.
Sacha Baron Cohen makes it two wins in a row for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm as he picks up the gong for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.
"Thank you to the all-white Hollywood foreign press," the film's star said.
He also poked fun at Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump’s lawyer who had a headline-grabbing cameo in Borat, before paying tribute to his co-star Maria Bakalova.
And Cohen praised the crew of the film for putting themselves in danger while shooting undercover amid the pandemic.
He said: "They did that because we all believed so deeply in releasing this movie before the election to show the danger from lies, hate and conspiracies, and the power of truth, empathy and democracy."
He also thanked his wife, Isla Fisher, who was seated next to him.
And it's a win for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm as it lands the Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy award.

It's a hat-trick of wins for The Crown as it adds the Best Television Series - Drama award to add to Josh O'Connor and Emma Corrin's earlier successes.
Peter Morgan, the show's creator, thanked the HFPA and Netflix.
He said: "I’m just sorry I’m sitting here in my tragic little office and not surrounded by the people who make the show such a pleasure to make."

He said: "To our incredible cast, every day working with you was a masterclass."

The award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy went to Rosamund Pike for her role in I Care a Lot.
She said: "I do care a lot, thank you for recognising the dark side of comedy."

"You're doing me dirty," the British star said when he eventually returned.
He thanked his family and said, "it takes a village to raise a film" and praised director Shaka King, as well as the production team behind the film and his co-stars.
In addition to the category winners, the 2021 Golden Globes honoured acting icon, Jane Fonda, with the Cecil B DeMille Award, and TV writer/producer Norman Lear with the Carol Burnett Award.

The 83-year-old Fonda spoke of the importance of storytelling, saying powerful stories can "change our hearts and our minds."
Addressing Hollywood power players, she said: "Let's all of us make an effort to expand that tent so that everyone rises and everyone’s story has a chance to be seen and heard."
She added: "Let’s be leaders."
