The Crown's Claire Foy and the stars of The Night Manager have won Golden Globes on a night of British success at the Hollywood awards show.

Foy was named best actress in a television drama for her portrayal of the Queen in the big-budget Netflix series about the monarch's early reign.

Tom Hiddleston was named best actor in a limited television series for his performance in BBC thriller The Night Manager, while Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman collected awards for their supporting roles on the show.

Musical La La Land won seven awards including best musical or comedy film, while coming-of-age drama Moonlight was named best film drama.

On stage, Laurie appeared to take aim at President-elect Donald Trump as he joked that he was collecting his award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the "last ever Golden Globes".

"I don't mean to be gloomy," he said.

"It's just it has 'Hollywood', 'foreign' and 'press' in the title. To some Republicans even the word 'association' is slightly sketchy.

"I accept this award on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere."

Stockport-born Foy, 32, described her award win as an "out of body experience" as she paid tribute to the Queen.

"I really wouldn't be here if it wasn't for some extraordinary women, one is Queen Elizabeth II," she said on stage.

"She has been at the centre of the world the past 63 years and I think the world could do with a few more women at the centre of it if you ask me."

Elsewhere, there was further British success for Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who won the Golden Globe for best supporting actor in a movie for his role in Nocturnal Animals.

The 26-year-old dedicated his gong to his wife, film-maker Sam Taylor-Johnson, 49, who he described as his "soul mate".

Meryl Streep collected the Cecil B DeMille award, which honoured her contribution to the world of entertainment.

A husky-sounding Streep, who had lost her voice, paid tribute to her friend, the late Carrie Fisher, repeating a quote from the Star Wars actress.

"Take your broken heart, make it into art. Thank you my friend," she said.
