Sunday night's Golden Globe awards recognised the huge impact Brits have been making in the world of television.
The winners of the television awards reflect the fact that British television production is currently enjoying a golden age.
Maggie Gyllenhaal won the award for Best Actress in a TV Miniseries or Movie for her role in BBC2's The Honourable Woman. Gyllenhaal played Nessa Stein, an Anglo-Israeli business woman who inherited the family's arms company, transforming its purpose to instead promote peace throughout the Middle East.
The Affair, which stars Brits Ruth Wilson and Dominic West, won the award for Best Drama Series, while Wilson picked up the gong for Best Actress in a Drama Series. The series, which is yet to air in the UK, looks at the aftermath of an extra-marital affair between West and Wilson's characters.
British establishment Downton Abbey was represented among the award winners by Joanne Froggatt, who won the Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie award for her role as lady's maid Anna Bates.
Meanwhile, Fargo, starring Martin Freeman, won Best Mini-Series at the awards, which took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
