Golden Globes 2017: Tom Hiddleston, Claire Foy and Hugh Laurie win as British talent sweeps the board
Olivia Colman, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and The Crown also took home gongs representing Britain
BRITISH talent reigned supreme at the Golden Globes 2017 taking home a host of top awards.
Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman all bagged gongs for their roles in The Night Manager, while Claire Foy scooped an award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in The Crown.
Hiddleston was named Best Actor in a Limited Television Series for his performance in the BBC thriller, while Laurie and Colman collected awards for their supporting roles.
On stage, Laurie appeared to take aim at President-elect Donald Trump as he joked that he was collecting the award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the "last ever Golden Globes".
"I don't mean to be gloomy," he said.
"It's just it has 'Hollywood', 'foreign' and 'press' in the title. To some Republicans even the word 'association' is slightly sketchy.
"I accept this award on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere."
British actress Claire Foy won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Drama for her role as Queen Elizabeth in The Crown.
The big-budget Netflix series, which explores the early years of the monarch's reign, was also named Best Television Drama Series.
