Another win for Big Little Lies - its third - as Laura Dern wins another Golden Globe - her fourth.

The actress - recently seen in Star Wars: The Last Jedi - thanks show creator David E Kelley for allowing her to play "the most outrageous, complicated woman and a terrified mother".

"I urge all of us to not only support survivors but to protect and employ them [and] to teach our children that speaking out without fear of retribution is our new north star," she goes on to say.

Dern was joined on the red carpet earlier by Monica Ramirez, the co-founder of Alianza Nacional de Campesinas (National Alliance of Farmers).

That's a lot of writing to get onto any award, so congratulations to Alexander Skarsgard for winning it for his role as an abusive husband in Big Little Lies.

The actor - son of Stellan, by the way - thanks fellow winner Nicole Kidman for giving him "the greatest experience of [his] career".

I am here tonight because I had the privilege of working with a group of extraordinarily talented women.

Best television series - drama

A second award of the evening for The Handmaid's Tale, Hulu's much-praised adaptation of Margaret Atwood's dystopian 1985 novel.

Sterling K Brown wins this award for This Is Us, one year on from missing out on a Golden Globe for his role in The People Vs OJ Simpson.

The actor thanks the show's creator, Dan Fogelman, for writing him "a role for a black man that can only be played by a black man".

What I appreciate so much about this thing is that I'm being seen for who I am and being appreciated for who I am. And it makes it that much more difficult to dismiss me or dismiss anybody who looks like me."

Brown just made history by the way by becoming the first black male to be named best lead actor in a TV drama at the Golden Globes.

She dedicated her win to Margaret Atwood, author of the book the series is based on.

This is for Margaret Atwood and all the women who came before and after you who were brave enough to speak out... We no longer live in the blank white spaces or at the edge of the print. We are the stories and we are writing them ourselves.

Rachel Brosnahan wins this for The Marvelous Mrs Maisel.

Jennifer Aniston and Carol Burnett appear on stage to hand out this award.

But before they do so, Aniston gives a tug to Burnett's ear and gets called "kinky" for doing so.

Here's what Brosnahan had to say as she picked up her prize for her role as a '50s housewife who sets out to become a stand-up comedian.

This is a story about a bold and brilliant and complicated woman, and I am endlessly proud to be a part of it, but there are so many women's stories out there that still need and deserve to be told.

Rockwell, pictured with partner Leslie Bibb, takes the award for his role as law officer Jason Dixon in the Martin McDonagh film and admits he is "shaking" as he picks it up.

It's a movie about compassion, and we need some of that.

Rockwell's win means Christopher Plummer, nominated for All the Money in the World, misses out. He replaced Kevin Spacey in the Ridley Scott film.

The Australian star speaks of "the power of women" as she pays tribute to her female co-stars and trumpets drama as an organ of change.

I do believe and hope we can elicit change through the stories we tell."

Set-ups and punchlines

A funny bit next, with Meyers calling on celebrities to give the pay-off lines to set-ups he delivered.

Here's what Jessica Chastain had to say about the Golden Globes turning 75.

But the actress who played its wife is still only 32.

'Elephant not in the room'

Seth Meyers went on to refer to the "elephant not in the room" - namely Harvey Weinstein, the producer whose alleged misconduct kicked off the deluge of revelations about sexual harassment in Hollywood.

The host suggested Weinstein's next appearance at the Golden Globes would be "in 20 years", when he would be "the first person booed during the In Memoriam" segment.

Weinstein denies all allegations of non-consensual sex.

Host Seth Meyers has got the evening started with a string of zingers about the sexual harassment scandal.

Here's a selection of them.

Good evening ladies and remaining gentlemen."

Happy new year Hollywood. It's 2018, marijuana is finally allowed and sexual harassment finally isn't."

This was the year of Big Little Lies and Get Out - and also the TV series Big Little Lies and the movie Get Out."

There's a new era under way, and I can tell because it's been years since a white man was this nervous in Hollywood."

For the male nominees this will be the first time in three months it won't be terrifying to hear their name read out loud."

And we're off!

The ceremony is finally getting started, so it's time to leave the red carpet and head inside the Beverly Hilton's international ballroom.
