THE black-and-white silent film "The Artist" led the Golden Globes with three wins on Sunday at a show that spread Hollywood's love around among a broad range of films, including best drama recipient "The Descendants" and its star, George Clooney.
Wins for "The Artist" included best musical or comedy and best actor in a musical or comedy for Jean Dujardin. Along with best drama, "The Descendants" won the dramatic-actor Globe for Clooney.
Dujardin became the first star in a silent film to earn a major Hollywood prize since the early days of film.
The dual best-picture prizes at the Globes could set up a showdown between "The Artist" and "The Descendants" for the top honor at next month's Academy Awards.
Other acting winners were Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams, Christopher Plummer and Octavia Spencer, while Martin Scorsese won for directing.
"I gotta thank everybody in England that let me come and trample over their history," said Streep, earning her eighth Globe, this time as dramatic actress for playing former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
British stars and productions played a prominent role all night. Comedian Ricky Gervais, who has ruffled feathers at past shows with sharp wisecracks aimed at Hollywood's elite and the Globes show itself, returned as host for the third straight year.
Kate Winslet won for her acting in "Mildred Pierce," playing a strong-willed divorcee in Depression-era California in a remake of the Joan Crawford classic. Idris Elba, who plays the detective John Luther in BBC America's "Luther," won the Globe for best actor in a TV movie or miniseries.
ITV's "Downton Abbey" won for best TV miniseries or movie, beating out three nominees from HBO.
Williams won for actress in a musical or comedy as Marilyn Monroe in "My Week With Marilyn," 52 years after Monroe's win for the same prize at the Globes for "Some Like It Hot."
The supporting-acting Globes went to Plummer as an elderly widower who comes out as a gay man in the father-son drama "Beginners," and Spencer as a brassy housekeeper in the 1960s Deep South tale "The Help."
Scorsese won for the Paris adventure "Hugo." It was the third directing Globe in the last 10 years for Scorsese, who previously won for "Gangs of New York" and "The Departed" and received the show's Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement two years ago.
