Colin Firth confirmed his status as an Oscars frontrunner after being named Best Actor in a Drama at the Golden Globes.

The awards are seen as an important pointer for the Oscars, held this year on 27 February.

But Firth's film The King's Speech had a disappointing night overall, being beaten in all six of the other categories in which it was nominated.

The big winner of the night was The Social Network, which was named Best Film (Drama).

David Fincher also won Best Director and Aaron Sorkin (pictured) Best Screenplay while the movie about the creation of Facebook also picked up the award for Best Score.

The other main Golden Globes went to The Kids Are All Right Best Film (Best Comedy Or Musical); Paul Giamatti (Best Actor in a Comedy Or Musical) for Barney's Version; Natalie Portman (Best Actress in a Drama) for Black Swan and Annette Bening (Best Actress in a Comedy Or Musical) for The Kids Are All Right.
