Olivia Colman made a triumphant return to the Golden Globes – a year after winning a TV award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Night Manager.

Scooping the prize for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at this year's ceremony for her starring role in The Favourite, the British actor charmed the audience with her humble, and entertaining, acceptance speech.

“Cor blimey, thank you so much. I'm not going to cry because my entire table will point and laugh at me as I've been crying all evening," she began.

Paying tribute to director Yorgos Lanthimos and her co-stars, she added: “Yorgos, thank you the most muchly and ma b*****s, Emma and Rachel, thank you, every second of working with you was such a joy and I was so sad that it finished.

“I would like to tell you how much this film meant to me but I can't think of it because I'm too excited," she continued. “I went on a private jet and I ate constantly through the film and it was brilliant and I promise I will keep on enjoying this, because it's amazing.”

Colman's win will undoubtedly fuel speculation that she is one of the strongest contenders at this year's Academy Awards, with many picking her as a favourite (pun intended) for the Best Actress award.

Meanwhile, Bohemian Rhapsody won the Best Motion Picture – Drama award as lead actor Rami Malek also picked up a trophy for his performance. The Queen biopic’s wins came as A Star is Born lost in four of the five categories it had been nominated in – despite being one of the most hotly tipped films this awards season.

Bohemian Rhapsody, in which Malek plays Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, defeated BlacKkKlansman, Black Panther, If Beale Street Could Talk, and A Star is Born in the Best Motion Picture – Drama category.

Malek, meanwhile, had been nominated alongside John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman), Lucas Hedges (Boy Erased), Willem Dafoe (At Eternity’s Gate), and Bradley Cooper (A Star is Born) for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama.

A Star is Born only won one award during the ceremony, when Shallow was crowned Best Original Song in a Motion Picture.

Lady Gaga had been nominated for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama award, which ultimately went to Glenn Close for her role in The Wife.

In addition to his nomination for Best Actor in a Drama, Cooper was up for the Best Director – Motion Picture title. Alfonso Cuarón won the award for his film Roma, which also earned him the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture in a Foreign Language.

Colman, Malek and Bohemian Rhapsody’s victories were part of a series of British wins throughout the night.

Richard Madden scored another one of the high profile wins of the evening when he picked up the Best Performance by an Actor In A Television Series – Drama award for his performance in Bodyguard.

The BBC thriller, which previously became the most watched show on iPlayer with 41.3 million requests, earned the Scottish actor his first Golden Globe.

Ben Wishaw also scored an award for his performance in A Very British Scandal, picking up the trophy for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.

Christian Bale, meanwhile, earned the Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy trophy for his role as Dick Cheney in Vice.

The British actor shocked many viewers when he spoke in his natural accent while giving his acceptance speech, as many were convinced Bale – a native of Pembrokeshire, Wales – was actually American.

The 76th Golden Globes were hosted by Sandra Oh and Andy Samberg from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
