this year's Golden Globes were all about sex; religion was not to be found

Australia's Heath Ledger missed out, but his film, Brokeback Mountain, was the big winner at the Golden Globe awards.

He was the favourite for the best actor award for his portrayal of a gay cowboy in the film, but Philip Seymour Hoffman took the Golden Globe for his role in Capote, also beating Russell Crowe in Cinderella Man.

Brokeback Mountain took the honours on the night, winning best picture in the drama category, best director, best screenplay and best song. It was closely followed by the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line, which swept the musical or comedy categories with awards for best picture, best actor (Joaquin Phoenix) and best actress (Reese Witherspoon).

Felicity Huffman, one of the stars of Desperate Housewives, won the award for best actress in a motion picture drama for her stunning portrayal of a man undergoing a sex change in the movie TransAmerica.

It is a year in which films about sex ( Brokeback Mountain, TransAmerica) trumped politics ( Syriana, Good Night, and Good Luck), while religion didn't even get a look in.
