Brad Pitt- Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood 
​This makes Pitt's first Golden Globe win in the same category since 1996 for Twelve Monkeys. Brad had nothing but admiration for his co-star Leonardo DiCaprio throughout his speech. He even made a joke about sharing a 'raft' with his co-star, with reference to the  Titanic movie.

Best Director
Sam Mendes- 1917
1917 tells the story of two young British soldiers who must deliver a life saving message deep in enemy lines, which will stop 1600 men and one of the soldiers' brothers walking into a deadly trap. 
'A technical and visual triumph' viewers have been left in awe of this war drama. 
We see it only fitting that Sam Mendes is recognised for his efforts in creating this incredible film.
