The award season of Hollywood is officially in full swing with the Golden Globes setting the ball rolling on Sunday evening. The entertainment quotient at this event was so high that we can only hope that the other awards functions manage to match the spirit. The evening kickstarted with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler — who are co-hosting for the third and final time — delivering a riveting monologue that not only made fun of the recent scandals but also kept the celebrity audience in splits. Later, the function moved to the category-wise award section but the humorous banter continued.

Richard Linklater's 'Boyhood' was the biggest winner with an award for Best Film (Drama), Best Director and Best Supporting Actress. (L-R) Patricia Arquette, Lorelei Linklater, Ellar Coltrane and Ethan Hawke Pics/AFP
