“La La Land” sets new Golden Globe record
“Moonlight” wins best drama
TV wins for “The Crown”, “Atlanta”
“La La Land” has danced off with seven Golden Globes in a night marked by upsets and a stinging indictment of US President-elect Donald Trump.
The romantic musical about a struggling actress and a jazz pianist trying to make it in Hollywood took home Globes for best comedy/musical.
Stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were also rewarded as was director Damien Chazelle for his screenplay, score and original song.

Drama
The evening’s most dramatic moment came from 67-year-old Meryl Streep.
The respected actress accepted a lifetime achievement award.
Although the three-time Oscar winner never mentioned Trump’s name, she said the most heartbreaking moment of the year came “when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter.”
“I still can’t get it out of my head because it was not in a movie,” Streep said.

“La La Land”, “Moonlight”
Politics aside, the night belonged to “La La Land”, whose seven wins set a new record for the most Golden Globes by a single movie.
The other big movie award went to low-budget “Moonlight”, about a young boy growing up in an impoverished neighbourhood of Miami.
The film clinched best drama.
“The movie touches people because they see the authenticity that we put into it. We weren’t trying to do anything other than tell our story,” said director Barry Jenkins.

Best Actor and Actress
Casey Affleck won best drama actor for his role as a man tormented by grief in “Manchester by the Sea”.
Viola Davis won best supporting actress for playing a downtrodden wife in the African-American drama “Fences”, the film version of the award-winning play by August Wilson.
“It’s not everyday Hollywood thinks of translating a play to screen. It does not scream moneymaker, but it screams art, it screams heart,” Davis said.
“The Crown”, “Atlanta”
In television, hip-hop show “Atlanta” won best TV comedy series and best actor for its star and creator Donald Glover.
“This is incredible,” Glover said, “
