The first major awards ceremony of the year – the Golden Globes 2020 – has taken place, leaving Hollywood both bejeweled and offended by host Ricky Gervais's jokes. 

Of course, not everyone could come away from the awards a winner. The most victorious movies of the evening were 1917 and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which took home Best Motion Picture Drama and Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical, respectively. Joker also managed two awards, for Best Score and Best Actor, Drama (Joaquin Phoenix).

On the television front, three programs won two awards apiece – Succession, Fleabag, and Chernobyl won the major prizes in drama series, comedy series, and limited series, respectively.
