Awards season is well underway, and we've arrived at what is often everyone's favourite stop on the road to the Oscars.

The Golden Globes are, in theory, the younger, funnier sibling of the Academy Awards; where all the celebs get hammered, a few surprises happen, and everyone seems to have a good time.

Voted for by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, they love to both spring a shock and rewarded the most zeitgeist-y TV shows and movies around, both of which happened this year, although there was still plenty that went as predicted too.
