Golden Globes is the first major awards show of the season and American Hustle, Breaking Bad and Dallas Buyer’s Club won the most awards.

The 71st annual event in Los Angeles was hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The three-hour ceremony aired on NBC last night, live from the Beverly Hilton.

12 Years a Slave took the top prize of the night. It was named Best Drama and the film’s director, Steve McQueen, seemed surprised by the win. “Little bit in shock,” he said. “I wasn’t expecting it.”

Matthew McConaughey won his first Golden Globe as lead actor in the film for Dallas Buyers Club and Cate Blanchett received the best actress in a drama honor for Blue Jasmine.

American Hustle won three awards, including Best Supporting Actress (Musical or Comedy), which was handed to Jennifer Lawrence and Best Actress for Amy Adams.

In her acceptance speech, Lawrence said: ”I don’t know why it’s so terrifying it’s obviously a good thing. Thank you to my family and my team, thank you so much!”

Leonardo DiCaprio took the trophy for best actor in a musical or comedy film for his role in The Wolf of Wall Street. DiCaprio joked that he never thought he’d win a Golden Globe for a comedy and he thanked Martin Scorsese for his mentorship.
