Sunday night's Golden Globes ended with a shocking upset as critics' favorite A Star Is Born missed out on the Best Picture gong to Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.

Bradley Cooper's Lady Gaga-starring passion project had been hotly tipped to take home multiple gongs – but instead just picked up a single trophy, for Best Original Song.

Cooper was also beat out by Bohemian Rhapsody's Rami Malek in the Best Actor - Drama category while Gaga lost to The Wife's Glenn Close in the Best Actress - Drama category.

We Are The Champions: Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody surprised many as it finished off the Golden Globes with a Best Motion Picture - Drama win over heavy-favorite A Star Is Born on Sunday evening

Radio Gaga: Rami Malek, who plays Freddie Mercury, also earned Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama over Bradley Cooper

In the Shallows: A Star Is Born was the heavy favorite in the three top categories of the Golden Globes but was shockingly shut out including in the acting categories with nominees Cooper and Lady Gaga

Talented duo: Gaga was bested by The Wife's Glenn Close in the Best Actress - Drama category

At the end of the night Bohemian Rhapsody producer Graham King addressed the shocked crowd at the Beverly Hilton as he said: 'The power of movies is that it brings us all together.

'Freddie Mercury and Queen did that so successfully through their music and that’s what we always wanted to accomplish in the cinemas.

'To see that magic come alive and see the incredible response of this film is truly humbling … Freddie Mercury, thank you for showing us the power of embracing your true self, this one’s for you.'

No doubt many were surprised by the win as Bohemian Rhapsody was generally poorly reviewed with 62% on Tomatometer by Rotten Tomatoes with top critics giving it 48%.

A Star Is Born received 90% on the Tomatometer with 96% of top critics giving it their seal of approval by the same metric.

Just before that Rami Malek also thanked the late, great singer whom he portrayed on the big screen. Unlike the best picture and best actress categories, the Mr. Robot actor was the favorite to win.

The 37-year-old actor concluded: 'Thank you to Freddie Mercury for giving me the joy of a lifetime. I love you, you beautiful man. This is for and because of you gorgeous.'

Olivia Colman provided another huge talking point of the night, winning Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her work on The Favourite and giving a stellar speech.

The 44-year-old British actress portrayed Queen Anne in early 18th century England and gave a special shoutout to her co-stars including Emma Stone whom she affectionately referred to as 'my b****es' before dropping the F-bomb.

She said: 'I'm not going to cry because my whole table will laugh at me. Thank you for the sandwiches.

'Thank you my b*tches Emma and Rachel! Every second working with you was such a joy. So much fun. I'm too excited!'

And Olivia said she loved making the film - which required her to pile on 35 pounds to play Queen Anne.

'I had a f**king blast!' she recalled. 'I went on a private jet and I ate constantly throughout the film – it was brilliant! I promise I will keep on enjoying it, because this is amazing.'

All hail: The 44-year-old British actress portrayed Queen Anne in early 18th century England in the acclaimed film

The British star, who can next be seen in The Crown playing Queen Elizabeth, then addressed her husband Ed Sinclair and their three children as she smiled and said: 'Ed and the kids, look! Yay!'

Olivia's critically-acclaimed film was released last month and follows the love triangle Queen Anne forms with two of her female courtiers, played by Emma and Rachel.

This year marks the second time Olivia has received a Golden Globe. She received the award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film for her role in The Night Manager in 2017.

Perhaps the biggest shock of the night came when 71-year-old actress Glenn Close bested favorite Lady Gaga for Best Actress - Drama.

Glenn Close - who portrayed Joan Castleman in The Wife - held back tears as she honored her mother in her very emotional acceptance speech as she said the role reminded her of her mother who 'really sublimated herself to my father her whole life' and who in her '80s bemoaned 'I feel I haven't accomplished anything.'

'It was so not right,' the talented actresses said before receiving a standing ovation. 'Women, we’re nurturers, that’s what’s expected of us. But we have to find personal fulfillment.'

'[She] really sublimated herself to my father her whole life': Close held back tears as she honored her mother in her very emotional acceptance speech as she said the role reminded her of her mother

'We have to follow our dreams. We have to say "I can do that, and I should be allowed to do that."'

She likened herself to legendary boxer Muhammad Ali as she said: 'When I was little… I felt destined to be an actress.

'I saw the early Disney films and said, "I can do that." And here I am today. It will be 45 years in September that I am a working actress. And I cannot imagine a more wonderful life.'

As award shows have become increasingly politicized during his time in office it was interesting to note that the Golden Globes had zero mentions of US President Donald Trump.

'Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration': Christian Bale had one of the most memorable speeches of the night as he accepted Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for his role

It definitely seemed to be a concerted effort as host Sandra Oh previously told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I'm not interested in [talking about Trump] at all.

'What I’m interested in is pointing to actual real change. I want to focus on that because people can pooh-pooh Hollywood all they want – and there is a lot to pooh-pooh, sure – but we also make culture. How many gazillions of people have seen Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians? That changes things.'

One moment did get political, however, as Christian Bale had one of the most memorable speeches of the night while accepting Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for his role portraying former US Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice.
