"American Hustle" led the pack at Sunday night's Golden Globes awards ceremony, winning awards for best comedic picture, Amy Adams as best comedic actress and Jennifer Lawrence as best supporting actress.
"12 Years a Slave" won the coveted award for best dramatic film, but it was "Dallas Buyers Club" that became the evening's second-biggest winner, earning Globes for Matthew McConaughey as best dramatic actor and Jared Leto as supporting actor.
Hosting the show for the second year in a row were Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, who explained their presence thusly: "Because this is Hollywood, and if something kinda works, they'll just keep doing it until everyone hates it."
Movie and television stars mingled perhaps more than ever at the ceremony, a reflection of the new media landscape. "Enjoy it while you can, Netflix," Poehler told the streaming Internet service that has become a newly minted awards contender. "You're not going to feel so smug in a couple of years when Snapchat is up here accepting best drama."
Indeed, out in the crowd, it wasn't easy to distinguish between the big-screen and small-screen stars: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, a television personality nominated for her movie "Enough Said," sat between Hollywood stars Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey; Lena Dunham, who parlayed her indie film into HBO's "Girls," sneaked a peek at Michael Douglas, a film legend who won best actor for the HBO television movie "Behind the Candelabra."
Still sticking to his old ways, however, was the famously awards-shy filmmaker Woody Allen, who declined to show up to accept his Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement. His onetime muse Diane Keaton appeared in his stead. "It kind of breaks my heart to think that I've known Woody for such a long time," she said, "but it also fills me with pride and affection and even love." She then literally sang his praises with an a cappella rendition of the children's song "Make New Friends."
