Christian Bale thanks Satan for inspiring winning Dick Cheney performance at Golden Globes

Queen musical "Bohemian Rhapsody" and U.S. segregation-era comedy "Green Book" took home the top Golden Globes on Sunday on a night of upsets that saw presumed favorite "A Star is Born" largely shut out, and big wins for Netflix.

"Vice," a scathing political comedy about the rise to power of former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, went into Sunday's ceremony with a leading six nominations but emerged with just one win, for Christian Bale for his performance as Cheney. Bale drew laughs by thanking Satan for helping to inspire the performance.

Tears and astonishment marked the winners podium as Glenn Close for "The Wife" beat front-runner Lady Gaga as best drama actress, and "Green Book" triumphed over more high profile comedies "Vice" and "The Favourite."
