Us actors Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldaña and TV series Baby Reindeer and Shōgun are among the early winners at the Golden Globe Awards, which are taking place in Los Angeles.
Culkin won best supporting actor for his performance in A Real Pain, about two cousins who travel across Poland in memory of their grandmother.
“The first ever acknowledgement I got as an actor was a Golden Globe nomination when I was basically a kid. Now, it’s like the best date night my wife and I ever have,” he joked.
Saldaña, who won best supporting actress for her role in Spanish-language musical Emilia Pérez, said: “My heart is full of gratitude.”

“I’m so blessed to be sharing this moment with my fellow nominees,” she continued.
“I know this is a competition but all I have witnessed is just us showing up for each other and celebrating each other and it’s just so beautiful.”
Elsewhere, British actress Jessica Gunning was named best TV supporting actress for her portrayal as a stalker in Baby Reindeer.
In her acceptance speech, Gunning shared an anecdote about getting a hamster for Christmas as a child, and thinking that she couldn’t believe it was happening to her. She said that phrase had become the “soundtrack of my life this year”.
“Thank you to Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer has changed my life in ways that I can’t even explain. I can’t believe this is happening to me,” she repeated, “and I know that eight-year-old me wouldn’t either, she’d be chuffed to bits.”
