- Blanchett wins, but stars not there
- Rose Byrne, Rachel Griffiths miss out
Full coverage of the Golden Globes
Glitz and glamour took the night off at the 65th Annual Golden Globes, but Cate Blanchett still came out a winner.
Blanchett was named best supporting actress for playing Bob Dylan in the music legend`s biopic, I`m Not There, at a 30 minute press conference that replaced the usual three hour, star-studded Golden Globes ceremony.
The event fell victim to the two month screenwriter`s strike that has crippled movie and TV production in the US.
Blanchett was a chance to claim a double victory as she was also nominated in the best actress in a film drama category for her stunning performance in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, but the award went to Brit, Julie Christie, for Away from Her.
There were two other Australians nominated - Rachel Griffiths for Brothers & Sisters and Rose Byrne for Damages - in the best supporting actress TV category, but both were bypassed.
Another British actress was triumphant in the category, Samantha Morton, for Longford.
The shock winner was Atonement, a romantic drama starring Keira Knightley, which scored the best film drama Golden Globe, beating favourites No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood.
Daniel Day-Lewis and Johnny Depp firmed as the frontrunners for the best acting Oscar after wins tonight.
Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood) was named best actor in a drama and Depp (Sweeney Todd) won best actor in a comedy/musical.
French actress Marion Cotillard, for her role as songstress Edith Piath in La Vie en Rose, won the best actress in a comedy/musical Golden Globe and appears the biggest threat to Christie for the best actress Oscar.
In the TV awards, David Duchovny won best actor in a comedy/musical TV series for Californication and Glenn Close was named actress in a TV drama winner.
The organisers of the awards were forced to drop the usual star-studded ceremony after striking Hollywood screenwriters threatened to picket the ceremony.
There are fears next month`s Oscars will also fall victim to the strike.
