    We're live blogging tonight's Golden Globes, so you can check here for up to date news on the winners. American Hustle and 12 Years A Slave have the most nominations but there's still a lot to play for, with tough competition for the top awards. It's the 71st edition of this event and the stars are out in force.

    On the red carpet there were a lot of red dresses and a sudden craze for capes, while a number of pregnant stars, including Drew Barrymore and Olivia Wilde, have seen some very different gowns competing for attention. A burst water pipe threatened to get things off to a soggy start, with a broken autocue adding to the chaos, but things seem to be just about holding together.

    Jennifer Lawrence was tonight's first winner, taking Best Supporting Actress for her role in American Hustle. Many people had expected it to go to Lupita Nyong'o for 12 Years A Slave and there's already debate over whether or not Lawrence can repeat this at the Oscars. Looking striking with a pageboy haircut and a long white dress which she managed not to trip over, she received the award from Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks.

    We got the inside scoop on American Hustle here.

    Behind The Candelabra has won an award for Best TV Movie. It's worth noting that it was released in cinemas in Europe and was featured at the Cannes Film Festival. Jerry Weintraub, who was a friend of Liberace's, said tonight that the flamboyant star would have loved the film. You can read what its stars told us about it here. Michael Douglas has picked up the Best Actor in a TV Movie award for starring in it. Sounding rough from his recent throat cancer treatment, he said that this was "probably the biggest gift I’ve ever gotten in my professional career."

    Best Original Score has gone to Alex Ebert for Robert Redford sailing disaster film All Is Lost, while Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom has picked up Best Original Song for Ordinary Love.

    Amy Adams has won Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for American Hustle.

    Jared Leto has won Best Supporting Actor for his role as a trans woman living with AIDS in Dallas Buyers Club. "To the Rayons of the world, thanks for the inspiration. I love you," he said in his acceptance speech. His character wasn't based on any one real person but on several different people with whom the real Ron Woodruff (played in the film by Matthew McConaughey) came into contact, who gradually changed his views on LGBT people. Leto is now considered the front runner for the award at the Oscars, though there's strong competition from Michael Fassbender for his role in 12 Years A Slave.

    Spike Jonze has won Best Screenplay for Her, in which Joaquin Phoenix plays a man falling in love with an operating system. It opens in UK cinemas on Valentine's Day. According to Jonze "Siri is not happy" with the win.

    The Great Beauty has won Best Foreign Language Film, which will surprise many, as Blue Is The Warmest Colour has come close to making a clean sweep so far. Read our interview with director Paolo Sorrentino here.

    Frozen has won Best Animated Feature Film. This seems to be one of the most widely popular decisions of the night.

    Woody Allen has received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his lifetime's work (like most such awards, this one was announced well in advance). As he doesn't like attending such events, Diane Keaton has accepted the award on his behalf.

    Alfonso Cuarón has won Best Director for Gravity. He praised his stars in his acceptance speech: "Sandra thank you for not quitting when I said I'm going to give you a hairpiece when I meant... an earpiece."

    Leonardo DiCaprio has won Best Actor in a Comedy for his performance in The Wolf Of Wall Street, which opens in the UK next weekend. It's his second Golden Globe win, after The Aviator in 2004.

    The award for Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical has gone to American Hustle. No big surprise there given all the love it's had so far tonight.

    Cate Blanchett has taken the Best Actress award for Blue Jasmine. You can read what she had to tell us about the role here. Tonight she used her acceptance speech to talk about how the past few years have offered some great roles for women.

    Matthew McConaughey has won Best Actor for Dallas Buyers Club, another surprise - most critics had expected a win for Chiwetel Ejiofor. McConaughey famously lost a lot of weight for his role as a hard-living cowboy living with AIDS and it looks as though he's still not quite back to his usual shape tonight. In his acceptance speech he thanked his mother, wife and kids for their support.

    Finally, after missing out on numerous other awards, 12 Years A Slave has won Best Picture. Still, there are many people unhappy and confused that it didn't win more, when most international critics have lauded it with praise. Does it mean that America still isn't ready to have a conversation about slavery? Whatever the reason, some have suggested that this apparent rejection could actually increase its Oscar chances, so there's still a great deal to play for as awards season continues. Thanks for joining us tonight.
