The "Descendants", the last film of the American director of Greek origin to dateAlexander Payne, is one of the big winners at this year's Golden Globes, which were presented Sunday night in Los Angeles, hosted by the British actorRicky Gervais, who unlike last year's award this year was sparing with vices.

The sensitive yet comical drama of a middle-aged man (George Clooney) who tries to find a way to communicate with his daughters knowing that his wife is dying, won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Drama and Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama (Clooney).

On the "opposite" bank, the category of best comedy or musical, the "Artist" – the mute, his black and white filmMichel Hazanavicius which has been on an upswing since winning at last year's Cannes festival – winning three awards: Best Comedy or Musical, best actor in a comedy or musical for the French actorJean Desjardins and music (Ludovic Burchett).

Too bad Alexander Payne didn't also win the Golden Globe for Best Director, since this award was given toMartin Scorsese for "Hugo", a homage of the director towards the cinema itself which will be shown in theaters shortly.

Another "old", TheWoody Allen won the screenplay award for 'Midnight in Paris', where he too looks nostalgically at something in the past, the old ones, good days of the City of Light.

THEMeryl Streepwon her eighth Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for her performance asMargaret Thatcherin the modest but "Iron Lady" by Philinda Lloyd. Respectively in the comedy or musical, orMichelle Williams won for her work on Seven Days with Marilyn where she also plays a real person, herMarilyn Monroe.

The awarding of the Iranian director's film is fairAsghar Farhadi"A separation" but also that of the Canadian veteranChristopher Plummer who won the prize b’ male role for the film "The Rookies" where he played his gay fatherEwan McGregor.

Among the women, the black actress was awardedOctavia Spencer for the anti-racist film "The Maids".
