The Shape of Water wins big

As skeptical as the critics (including us) were of the effectiveness of the sartorial protest drummed up by the women behind Time's Up (a legal and PR-led initiative to help victims of sexual assault), it is undeniable that the Golden Globes' red carpet was an impressive sight.

"The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who picked up a best comedy award at Critics' Choice, echoed the hope that the conversation and movement would continue to make an impact.

"The thing is weirdly, without trying, it kind of is reflecting what's going on because - women's struggles in the workplace, women's struggles in the entertainment industry, women in comedy", Sherman-Palladino said. Following the rap, Olivia had a amusing bit where she asked Elisabeth Moss to sign her Handmaid's Tale bonnet, so she made up for her awkward intro.

Throughout my career, I was always asked to describe my dream role.

She told the Daily Mail: "Hosting an awards show pales in comparison to the legal and illegal threats that I've had to (face) and that so many other women who have spoken out have had to go through".

Best Action Movie went to "Wonder Woman", while "The Big Sick" was named Best Comedy.

In the television sphere, "Big Little Lies" and "The Handmaid's Tale" once again took the top honours.

Del Toro's success in the best director category came at the expense of Lady Bird writer-director Greta Gerwig, who had also been up for the award.

Kidman has been the awards-season darling for her performance as a lawyer-turned-abused-wife-and-mom in the acclaimed HBO limited series "Big Little Lies". The actress also received an honorary award, #SeeHer Award.

This is the first time in a long time that the 50-year-oldstar has given a nod to the two kids she adopted with her former husband Tom Cruise: Connor, 22, and Isabella, 25.

Dern thanked her fellow nominees and was one of few stars to speak on behalf of Time's Up and the Legal Defense Fund. I'm really proud of Jordan for taking his time. "This is about the ensemble".

"I'd like to dedicate this award to all the Halleys and Moonees out there", she said. "Not so much anymore. Thank you so much".

Munn had to cut her off at this point.

Get Out also won Best Screenplay alongside Luca Guadagnino's LGBT love story Call Me By Your Name.

Kristin Scott Thomas plays opposite the 59-year-old as his on-screen wife Clemmie Churchill in the film.The movie itself was also up for Best Picture and Best Score as well.

Guillermo del Toro's creature feature The Shape of Water triumphed at the Critics' Choice awards, winning four prizes including best film and best director.
