Ben Affleck was the toast of the Golden Globes last night as he picked up the Best Director gong while Argo won Best Picture - Drama.
The actor turned filmmaker was overlooked for Best Director when the Oscar nominations were revealed last week - which did come as a huge surprise.
But all that was forgotten last night as his political thriller, which was a huge critical success, triumphed.
Affleck saw off Steven Spielberg, Kathryn Bigelow, Ang Lee and Quentin Tarantino for Best Director while Argo beat Django Unchained, Life of Pi, Zero Dark Thirty and favourite Lincoln.
It was also a great night for musical Les Miserables as it walked away with three major prizes.
The Tom Hooper directed movie picked up Best Film - Musical/Comedy while Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway were also recognised for their work.
Jackman won the Best Actor - Musical/Comedy gong while Hathaway was the favourite for the Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe - she has now strengthened her claim on the Oscar.
Daniel Day Lewis was the favourite for Best Actor (Drama) for his performance in Lincoln while Jessica Chastain won Best Actress (Drama) for Zero Dark Thirty.
There was also awards success for Jennifer Lawrence as she collected the Best Actress - Musical/Comedy for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook.
Lawrence and Chastain perhaps have now cemented themselves as favourites for the Best Actress Oscar where they are set to go head to head.
There was success for Adele as she won Best Song for her track Skyfall.
