The Golden Globes sometimes are seen as indicators for the Academy Awards, the nominations for which are scheduled to be announced on Thursday.

"Boyhood" won the Golden Globe for Best Drama, Richard Linklater won for Best Director, and Patricia Arquette took the Best Supporting Actress award.

"The Grand Budapest Hotel" won for best musical or comedy film.

Clooney, in accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, wore a Je Suis Charlie button in recognition of last week's terrorism attacks in Paris.
