Argo enjoyed a successful evening at last night’s Golden Globes, with the film scooping the award for Best Picture and Ben Affleck winning the gong for Best Director.

The awards retained their traditional populist slant, with Christoph Waltz winning Best Supporting Actor and Jennifer Lawrence scooping Best Actress In A Comedy Or Musical.

Best Actor and Best Actress followed a more Oscar-centric path, with Academy favourites Daniel Day-Lewis and Jessica Chastain winning in their respective categories.
