- Christopher Plummer has won the supporting-actor Golden Globe for his role as an elderly widower who comes out as gay in the father-son drama Beginners.
- Claiming the first prize of the night at Sunday's Globes may give 82-year-old Plummer the inside track for the same prize at next month's Academy Awards.
