Golden Globes 2016: DiCaprio and Stallone among big winners
Leonardo DiCaprio and Sylvester Stallone were among the big winners at the 2016 Golden Globes, as Kate Winslet flew the flag for Britain in Beverly Hills.
DiCaprio won best actor in a film drama for his role in revenge epic The Revenant, overcoming rivals such as Brits Michael Fassbender and Eddie Redmayne.
After a huge reception from the star-studded audience, DiCaprio said: "This film was about survival, adaptation and the triumph of the human spirit and more importantly it was about trust. There is nobody more deserving of that trust than [director] Alejandro Inarritu. I've never had an experience like this in my entire life. The depths he went to are unfathomable."
The success for DiCaprio and for the film - which also scooped awards for best drama motion picture and best director - adds to speculation that the 41-year-old star may finally win an Oscar, after a string of unsuccessful nominations.

Ricky Gervais was controversial yet again in his fourth stint as host of the awards show, with his introduction of Mel Gibson prompting some awkward scenes.
After Gervais had skewered the Australian actor in previous years, he promised to "say something nice" about him, before making a joke about comedian Bill Cosby that prompted a mixture of groans and laughter from the audience.
An earlier joke about Caitlyn Jenner also prompted a backlash on Twitter, when he joked that she "didn't do much for women drivers" - a reference to a fatal car crash involving the transgender former athlete.
