 Our favorite actors and actresses across the pond stole the show, as they managed to sweep up a lot of the major awards including Best Actress (TV series), Best Director and Best Picture (drama).

One of the major front runners was none other than Sam Mendes.

 The English film director received two awards for his World War I drama 1917 including the coveted Best Director and Best Picture (drama). 2020 seems to be looking good for Mendes as he recently got knighted.

He has high hopes for the movie...

 "I really hoped this means people will turn up and see it on the big screen as intended," he said as he took to the stage alongside the film crew.

Elton John's followed 1917.

 The biographical film also picked up 2 awards including Best Original Song.

The Brits didn't stop there...

 Pheobe Waller-Bridge's won her fair share of awards last night. Fleabag was awarded 2 awards including Best TV series (comedy/musical) and Best Actress (comedy/musical). And well deserved, I must say.

And would it really be a British invasion if Olvia Coleman didn't have a win?

 The Crown actress, Olivia Coleman, won the award for Best Actress (drama), and let me tell you, she had some pretty tough competition. Coleman stood alongside the likes of Jodie Comer, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Nicole Kidman.

However, the biggest winner of the night had to be Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.

 Even though the Brits seemed to dominate the show, we did see the Americans pull it back with 2019's Hollywood blockbuster.

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood came out on top, winning 3 of the major awards of the night.

 This included Brad Pitt's win as Best Supporting Actor. After 2 decades of a life without a Golden Globe, Pitt finally got a taste of what it feels like to be amongst the winners.

We wish we could say the same for Leonardo DiCaprio... But we can't.

 The actor was nominated for Best Actor (in a motion picture), but was beaten by none other than Taron Egerton for his role in Rocketman. We mean, if there's one person to beat DiCaprio, it would be young, fake Elton John, wouldn't it?

And just to add a little insult to injury, Pitt decided he would bring up some haunting memories for his friend.

 During his acceptance speech, Pitt decided to play on the iconic Titanic scene that everyone always seems to talk about. That's right, the moment when Jack (played by Leo) sacrifices himself by letting Rose (Kate Winslet) lie on the floating door to keep out of the freezing water.

People have always had their theories that Jack could have survived if Rose shared the door...

 And it seems as though Brad also agrees with us! He started off his speech like this, "I also have to thank my partner in crime, Leonardo DiCaprio. Before The Revenant, I used to watch year after year, his co-stars win awards and get up and thank him profusely and I now know why..."

He continued saying...

 "He’s an all-star, he’s a gent. I wouldn’t be here without you, man. I thank you. But still… I would’ve shared the raft." And that's all it took. That one line made the entire audience, including DiCaprio, burst out into laughter.

And the jokes didn't end there...

 Last night's Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais took to the stage and gave us a night to remember with some brutally hilarious jokes about "fake celebrities."

But one of the most deserving wins of the evening had to go to Joaquin Phoenix...

 He won a Golden Globe for Best Actor in Motion Picture Drama for his performance in 2019's Joker.

His acceptance speech was a little bizarre, we must say...

via: Getty Images

 He touchingly thanked partner Rooney Mara and apologized to Joker director Todd Phillips for being "such a pain in the ass."

He also made references to climate change...

 He said to his fellow A-listers, "We don't have to take private jets to Palm Springs ... I'll try to do better, and I hope you will too."

Fans have praised the actor heavily...

And we must say, he truly deserved his award.

He received a standing ovation when he took to the stage to accept his award...

 But it seems that not everyone in the crowd felt he was worthy of standing up.

And that person is...

The one and only Beyonce.

Beyonce and her husband, Jay-Z, were sat a few feet away from the winning actor.

 The singer is visibly seen sitting behind Phoenix as he stands up to accept his award, and she seems to be the only member of the audience who doesn't bother standing up... or even to clap her hands, for that matter!

This hasn't made the singer look good, at all.

Many have branded Beyonce as "rude" and "disrespectful" for refusing to stand for Phoenix's deserved win.

Many of her fans were disappointed in her...

But people did point out a possible reason as to why she didn't stand.

Her dress was somewhat of a spectacle...

And some fans have put down the reason for her sitting to the inconvenience of her dress.

The jokes quickly flooded in...

And we must say, the sleeves on her dress were pretty huge.

Let's hope that this is merely the reason for her not standing up...

 But either way, Phoenix made a very gracious winner and he was overall heavily applauded for his hard work and talent. For more Golden Globes, keep scrolling to see the best and the worst dressed of this year...
