Brits Storm the Golden Globes
ATONEMENT led the way on a good night for Britain at a toned-down Golden Globes ceremony in Los Angeles.
The film, based on Ian McEwan's novel and starring Brits Keira Knightley and James McAvoy, picked up the Best Motion Picture gong.
But the Hollywood glitz was missing as the usually-lavish awards ceremony was replaced with a televised news conference because of the continued writers' strike.
Brit Julie Christie won Best Actress in a Dramatic Role for Away From Her, while Jim Broadbent also won for his performance as human rights campaigner Lord Longford, in Longford.
Daniel Day Lewis won Best Actor for There Will Be Blood.

Samantha Morton took Best Supporting TV Actress for her role in Longford.
Also among the winners was Ricky Gervais for Extras, which was named Best Comedy.
Aussie Cate Blanchett took Best Supporting Actress in a Film for her role in I'm Not There and Jeremy Piven landed Best Supporting TV Actor for Entourage.
Sweeney Todd scooped Best Motion Picture with the talented Johnny Depp picking up the gong for Best Performance by an Actor

Britney on the Brink

SAD druggie BRITNEY SPEARS sang her own songs to herself in an empty bar, The Sun can reveal.
Staff at the Rosarito Beach Hotel in Mexico said Britney, 26, appeared to be “high” during her stay with British lover ADNAN GHALIB.
Reception manager Gustavo Lopez, 38, said: “One of our waitresses spotted Britney singing to herself in the bar.
“She heard her mumbling the words to Toxic in a very low voice. It was a strange thing to do and my waitress said she looked out of it.

“The hotel is virtually deserted at this time of year and Britney was all alone in the bar singing to herself. I don’t think she knew where she was.
“My barman said she looked like she was on drugs and was slurring her words. When I first saw her check in, she looked like she was drunk.”


The singer was also accused of trashing her room at the hotel, despite only staying for seven hours.
Manager Gustavo said: “The maid told me she’d never seen anything like it. There was rubbish everywhere — it looked like a bomb hit it.”
Later troubled Britney was seen back in Los Angeles buying Brummie photographer Ghalib, 35, a new car — in the dress she wore for her wedding to ex KEVIN FEDERLINE.
