THE stars brought the frocks and Ricky Gervais delivered the shocks at 69th Golden Globes awards in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
George Clooney enjoyed a golden night - taking out the gong for Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) for his role in The Descendants, which won the night's top honour. And he stole Brad Pitt's cane, so there's that.
Meryl Streep won the coveted Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) gong for her turn as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, while acclaimed silent film The Artist took home three awards.
TV's big winner was Homeland, which had wins for Best Television Series - Drama and Best Performance By An Actress In A Television Series - Drama (Claire Danes).
Ricky Gervais didn't pull any punches, but he did run away from Madonna when she offered to kiss him.For full coverage of the awards, read on through our live blog.�

2.59pm And that's a wrap, y'all. We hope you enjoyed our live coverage of the 69th Annual Golden Globes. Stick around, we've still got some pics and chat around the wash-up.
Speaking of pics, this is Eric Stonestreet's idea of an after party, tweeting: "Where do you go after you win a golden globe? The kitchen of the Beverly Hills Hilton"

�Also, here's Iron Lady Meryl Streep. Holding it together better than she did during her acceptance speech.

2.54pm THE DESCENDANTS - WINNER - BEST MOTION PICTURE (DRAMA).
It's a big night for the film, which just picked up the coveted Best Actor (Drama) Globe for George Clooney's leading performance.
2.48pm George Clooney or, as Ricky calls him,The Cloonmeister, wins the Best Performance By An Actor In A Motion Picture - Drama statue for The Descendants. He takes the gong from a top field, including close pal Brad Pitt (Moneyball) and the first-class Leonardo DiCaprio (J. Edgar). Clooney also pays tribute to Michael Fassbender (Shame) for his impressive manhood acting ability. Speaking of which, the night seems to have a particular theme:
2.46pm Winners are grinners, or in Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage's case, winners are "Golden Globe? ....Meh. Next".

Seriously dude, crack a smile.
2.41pm Silence is officially Golden. As expected, The Artist wins one of the show's top awards by collecting the gong for Best Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical.
The speech caught the eye of our Day Editor here at news.com.au, but that had nothing to do with the film:
"Oh look, a dog!"

2.35pm Meryl Streep forgot her glasses, oops! Oh well, she can console herself with the Golden Globe for Best Performance By An Actress In A Motion Picture - Drama for portraying Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.
She won't get a Golden Globe for that speech. Seriously. Cringeworthy.
2.33pm Jessica Alba posted this cute pic of herself with on-screen, off-screen couple Ben Falcone and Melissa McCarthy (both of Bridesmaids fame!)

2.32pm Ricky, in addition to dropping the f-bomb, has put away a beer or two.
"It's so good to have a job where you can get drunk and they still pay you."
On the subject of the f-bomb, RG had this to say to Salma Hayek and Antonio Banderas:
"They're probably very interesting, because I can't understand a f***ing word they say."
2.30pm Keep your eyes peeled for a Ricky Gervais nudie run. He's checked off everything else from that "do not" list handed to him by the GG bosses. Has his performance been a little... watered down?
2.26pm Jean Dujardin takes out Best Performance By An Actor In A Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical for highly acclaimed silent movie The Artist. He beats out Owen Wilson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Brendan Gleeson and it-man Ryan Gosling.
2.18pm Modern Family's Sofia Vergara and Steven Levitan accept the gong for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical. In two languages. Luckily for Sofia, she accepted the award from Selma Hayek, so she can see how she'll look in 10 years. #ohyeswedid

2.16pm Ricky G is copping heat on Twitter because his appearances have been few and far between. We say quality over quantity. Plus he just dropped the show's first (official, Elton, official) f-bomb. So, you know, it's not all bad.
2.06pm Morgan Freeman won't be given the wind-up music for receiving the Cecil B Demille award for lifetime achievement in the film industry. You could listen to the man talk all day. #vote1morgan

2.03pm Proving some go to amazing lengths to research their roles. Other simply go to Youtube:
1.58pm The crowd stands for Sidney Poitier, and they receive his stirring words with a reverent silence.
He pays special tribute to Morgan Freeman, who he describes as a "prince" of the profession.
"Welcome aboard, Morgan Freeman. May your journey be long, and your characters to continue to multiply."
1.54pm Sofia Vergara posted this pic on Twitter of Modern Family co-star Eric Stonestreet and Madonna. With the words: "OMG!! 2 big ones!!"

1.50pm Katy Perry kissed a girl and she liked it. Madonna wants to kiss a girl (Ricky Gervais)... again (flashback: Britney Spears). But it sounds like Katy Perry actually wants to kiss Madonna. Wait... what?
1.48pm Octavia Spencer, takes out Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role In A Motion Picture for The Help.
1.44pm Wow, upset. Matt LeBlanc beats out Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) and David Duchovny (Californication) to win Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series - Comedy Or Musical for Episodes.
Apparently since Matt LeBlanc was on Friends he turned 60. Lots of salt, not much pepper.
1.43pm 500 Days of Summer co-stars Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt found a seat next to each other, posting this pic on Twitter:

1.42pm Time for some Golden Globes multiple choice. What's the show's highlight?
a) William H Macy and Felicity Huffman singing their "blah blah blah" nomination; or
b) Madonna propositioning Ricky Gervais, because she "hadn't kissed a girl in years... on screen"; or
c) b; or
d) b; or
e) b, c and d
Spoiler alert: It's not a.
1.35pm Another win for Homeland, as Claire Danes snares the Globe for Best Performance By An Actress In A Television Series - Drama.
Sidenote: Where the face is Woody Allen? Way to be a no-show, brah. We're guessing he's either playing clarinet somewhere in uptown New York, or actually in Paris itself. That'd be deep.
1.34pm No love for Angelina Jolie. A Separation wins Best Foreign Language Film. She is going home with Brad Pitt though, so most people say that's a win.
1.24pm Jessica Lange takes the gong for Best Performance By An Actress In A Supporting Role In A Series, Mini-Series, Or Motion Picture Made for Television for her turn in American Horror Story.
She's rambling, about something, or other. Shame Sofia Vergara didn't win for Modern Family. OK, Jessica, stop talking (she's still going, like, for real).
1.22pm Woody.... Would you? Ha. Seriously though, Woody Allen wins Best Screenplay - Motion Picture for his work on Midnight in Paris.
1.20pm The two biggest movie stars in the world introduce a bit of ROFL (besides that provided by Ricky G) to the Globes:
1.15pm The maestro Steven Spielberg appears to accept the Globe for The Adventures of Tintin, this year's Best Animated Feature Film
1.10pm Peter Dinklage wins for Game of Thrones. But Guy Pearce lost (boo, hiss). The category? Better take a long breath:

1.03pm While the fashionistas and style gurus deliberate over who was the best dressed on the day, the real star of the show has emerged... Introducing, Uggie, star of Globe favourite film, The Artist, who outshone each and every celeb. This dog certainly had it's day:

1.02pm Standing next to a stunning Kate Beckinsale to present the award, Seth Rogen made a more than candid confession (quick, kids, earmuff it!):

Ummmm, thankyou... (?)
12.58pm Idris Elba wins Best Performance By An Actor In A Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television for Luther. He really didn't sound that British in The Wire.... </research>

12.50pm Can you say, karma? Madonna beats out Elton John for Best Original Song - Motion Picture! Elton was wrong when he said Madonna had "no f***ing chance" earlier on the red carpet. Sucks to be him.
It's her second win (her first for Evita) and she receives the award for co-writing the song ?Masterpiece? for W.E.

This could be the first of a big haul for The Artist.
12.43pm Mindy Kaling, who plays Kelly Kapoor on The Office, says what we're all thinking about Rob Lowe's tan.
12.38pm Homeland has taken out the Golden Globe for Best Television Series - Drama.
Clearly the show's creators didn't heed Ricky Gervais' message about the speeches - rocking out the word "consigliere" among many, many... many other words.
12.37pm We see Alec Baldwin had his priorities straight today....
12.36pm Kelsey Grammer takes out the coveted Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series - Drama gong for his role in Boss.
12.35pm The host tells off the stars for going overboard on the speeches.
"We're already five minutes over.You don't need to thank everyone you've ever met. Just thank the main two - your agent and God. That's what I do, because I know my agent and God have the same amount of input in my career."
12.30pm Ricky Gervais' opening speech was slick, polished and popular. Vintage Gervais. In addition to a good Kardashian roasting, he also gave some heat to Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and Johnny Depp.
"And I musn't mention Mel Gibson this year. Not his private life, his politics, his recent films or especially not Jodie Foster's beaver. I haven't seen it myself. I've spoken to a lot of guys -- they haven't seen it either but that doesn't mean it's not good."
In the meantime, here's Jodie on the ruby rug earlier:

When Depp walked to the stage, Gervais asked him:
"I want to ask you a question. And be honest. Are you on recreational drugs? I'm joking, that's not the question. And we know the answer [to that]. Have you seen The Tourist yet?"
To read what he said in full, check out the Huffington Post's monologue transcript.

12.10pm First win:Christopher Plummer (Beginners) - Best Performance By An Actor In A Supporting Role In A Motion Picture.

12.0pm Ricky G really doesn't miss anyone.
"The Hollywood Foreign Press a non-profit organisation - just like NBC. Should we get on with it?"
12.01pm And we're off! All eyes are on Ricky Gervais, who says the Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton.
"Bit louder, bit trashier, bit drunker and more easily bought."
We were all waiting for that swipe at Kim Kardashian and he duly obliged:
"A marriage that lasted 72 days. I've sat through longer James Cameron acceptance speeches longer than that."
Gervais is completely reveling in his invincibility.
"Nervous? Don't be this isn't about you. You get the world's biggest British comedian hosting the world's second biggest awards show on America's third biggest network. No, actually, it's the fourth isn't it."
12.00pm Elton John was bleeped on the Golden Globes red carpet when he dropped an F-bomb while speaking about Madonna. John was asked to assess his Best Song competition, saying:
"Mary J [Blige] might win for 'The Help' - Madonna hasn't got a f***ing chance".

9.50am Ten minutes until kick off and the keenest of stars have already started arriving on the red carpet. Pics to come shortly ... Stay tuned!
===
From 10.00am (AEDT) stars will begin hitting the red carpet in Beverly Hills for the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards with all eyes on provocative British comic Ricky Gervais as he hosts the ceremony for the third consecutive year.
The Globes, handed out by vaguely mysterious Hollywood Foreign Press Association (a group of less than a hundred international journalists who report in Los Angeles), are often assumed to be a reliable predictor of Oscar favourites.
French-directed silent movie, The Artist, leads the pack with six nominations, while The Help, about black servants in the pre-civil rights era US south, and The Descendants starring George Clooney, are both nominated in five categories.
Clooney-directed political thriller The Ides of March, Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris and baseball movie Moneyball starring Brad Pitt all garnered four nominations each.
Australia's own Guy Pearce is the sole Aussie in the running for an award this year, for his role as Monty Beragon in the television mini-series Mildred Pierce. Pearce will fight it out to claim the best performance in a supporting role in a series, mini-series or motion picture made for TV.�
And while the competition will be fierce on stage, the red carpet will be just as hotly contended. The stars to watch out for this year include Jessica Biel, Reese Witherspoon, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Kate Beckinsale, Nicole Kidman and Emily Blunt.
