Politics takes the spotlight at awards night

Beverly Hills, California

AS stars and filmmakers made a grand show of their support for free speech and the rights of all, a pair of personal films, Boyhood and The Grand Budapest Hotel, took the top movie prizes on Sunday night at the 72nd Golden Globes.

"The bottom line is that we're all flawed in this world, no one's perfect," said Richard Linklater in accepting the Best Director award for Boyhood, which a few minutes later would receive the prize for Best Dramatic Film.
