Bohemian Rhapsody was the big winner at the Golden Globes last night (January 6).

The Freddie Mercury and Queen biopic won the Best Drama Film prize, while its star Rami Malek won Best Drama Actor.

When accepting his award, Malek thanked the band, saying: “To you, Brian May, to you, Roger Taylor, for ensuring that authenticity and inclusivity exist in the music and in the world and in all of us.”

He continued: “Thank you to Freddie Mercury for giving me the joy of a lifetime. I love you, you beautiful man. This is for – and because of – you, gorgeous.”
