British talent reigned at this year’s Golden Globes – with The Crown scooping major awards.

Emma Corrin, 25, and Josh O’Connor, 30, who played Princess Diana and Prince Charles in the Netflix drama, were named best actress and actor in a television series.

Gillian Anderson, 52, won for her supporting role as Margaret Thatcher, with the show also named best TV drama series.

Other British winners at the virtual 78th awards were I Care A Lot’s Rosamund Pike, 42, Queen’s Gambit actress Anya Taylor-Joy, 24, and Sacha Baron Cohen, 49, for his return as Borat.

Brit Daniel Kaluuya, 32, took the first award for his supporting role in the film Judas and the Black Messiah.

He plays Fred Hampton, the Black Panther Party chairman assassinated in 1969. Viewers were unable to hear his initial speech, prompting him to joke: “You’re doing me dirty.”
