Amazon Studio's quirky British comedy "Fleabag" was among the big winners at the 77th annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge took home the best comedy actress statuette, while the show was selected as the best TV series (musical or comedy).

"This means a huge amount to all of us," said Waller-Bridge, who also thanked former US President Barack Obama for endorsing the show "as powerful as (the) movies".

Olivia Colman won for the third series of The Crown.

"For the last year I feel like I've been living someone else's life, and I've definitely won someone else's award," she said.

Ellen DeGeneres and Tom Hanks were both given lifetime achievement awards, while South Korean director Bong Joon Ho's social satire Parasite was named best foreign language drama.
