Although they herald the beginning of the season, the Golden Globes (the winners of which are selected by the freelance journalists of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association) are not seen as a cast-iron indication of which films or actors will be celebrating further success with the BAFTAs and Oscars in a few weeks time. Ultimately they're a lovely accolade to win - or be nominated for - but it's best not to make overly confident predictions at this stage based on the outcomes.
Once again it was a successful evening, hosted for the third and final time by the brilliant duo of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. A full list of the winners can be found here, but in short it was a brilliant night for Boyhood (taking home Best Picture/Director/Supporting Actress), Birdman (Best Actor, Comedy/Screenplay) and Eddie Redmayne (Best Actor, Drama). In TV Gina Rodriguez took on comedy heavyweights and won (Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy), Kevin Spacey made the most of a lack of Bryan Cranston and finally won a Golden Globe (Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama) and Joanne Froggatt made everyone cry with her acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Anna Bates in Downton Abbey.
Let's be honest, the red carpet wasn't too shabby either...
As ever, the fashion on show was pretty impressive indeed. I've selected my Best Dressed below, but as there were so many in attendance there are lots of looks I just haven't been able to include. If you fancy checking out more comprehensive lists, then you can't go wrong with: Vogue / ELLE UK / Glamour / Buzzfeed / Red Carpet Fashion Awards / E! Online. I spent most of last night pouring over them all to pick my favourites, so have a scroll below and let me know if you agree with my choices...
BEST DRESSED: FELICITY JONES
Christian Dior Couture dress // Van Cleef & Arpel earrings
On the red carpet E! presenter Giuliana Rancic awkwardly informed Jones that she was the next Lupita Nyong'o due to her growing number of sartorial successes over the last few months, and once I'd stopped cringing from the embarrassment of the moment (Rancic was a total car crash all evening interviewing nominees) I have to agree. Jones has almost come from nowhere, suddenly exploding onto Best Dressed lists with a refined, polished style that is simultaneously classically beautiful and often a little edgy.
I'm glad I was left on my own last night to dissect the red carpet as I gasped aloud and genuinely clapped when images of Jones began to seep into my twitter feed. This stunning teal Dior gown has the sort of "architecturally prim silhouette" that I doubt anyone but Jones could pull off with such aplomb. Her delicate features compliment the bold colour and strong structure of the dress perfectly, and when paired with subtly smokey eye makeup and a slick swept back up-do Jones steals the show. She exudes class and elegance and has definitely arrived. Lupita, I think you just lost your crown.

I still can't get over how radiant Felicity Jones looked! I'm clearly a fan this year of intricately detailed column dresses and although a classic black tuxedo never goes out of style, I adored Ethan Hawke's grey twist and Matt Bomer's decision to wear navy instead. All in all, I'm impressed!
