The 2018 Golden Globes were given out Sunday, January 7, 2018 at the Beverly Hilton.
There were not many surprises when it came to winners until the very end, when Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missiouri stole the thunder from The Shape Of Water to win the Best Picture Motion Picture Drama Golden Globe Award for 2018. The movie studio that released The Shape of Water, Fox Searchlight, was not too upset, though, because they also released Three Billboards.
Gary Oldman won the Best Actor Motion Picture Drama Golden Globe award for his performance as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. James Franco won the Best Actor Motion Picture Comedy or Musical Golden Globe award for his role as Tommy Wiseau in The Disaster Artist.
For Best Actress, Frances McDormand won for Best Actress Motion Picture Drama for her role in Three Billboards, while Saoirse Ronan won Best Actress Motion Picture Comedy or Musical for her role in Lady Bird.

2018 Golden Globe Award Winners: Check back January 7, 2018, beginning at 8PM EST.
While the 2018 Golden Globe Awards do not have an international audience like the 2018 Oscars (or any Oscars telecast does), the winners and nominees usually come close to those of Oscar nominees and winners. The major difference between the Golden Globes and Oscars is that the Golden Globes nominate 5 movies from both the Drama and Comedy/Musical categories, and 5 Best Actor and Best Actress nominees from both the Drama and Comedy categories, while the Oscars only pick 5 Movies, Actors and Actresses to be represented in the Oscar races. The Golden Globes also bestow awards upon TV stars and shows, while the Oscars are exclusively theatrical movie related.
As for 2017 Oscar and Golden Globe winners? Here is how they compared in the major categories.
Best Picture Oscar winner: Moonlight (La La Land won for about 3 minutes)
Best Picture Golden Globe Winner (Comedy/Musical): La La Land
Best Picture Golden Globe Winner (Drama): Moonlight
