Golden Globes:winners and looser

Amazon is the hit studio of the night. They won best comedy with Transparent and best actor in that show, Jeffrey Tambor. Many awards tonight have gone to newcomers, with one exception. Kevin Spacey won best actor for TV drama in House of Cards. “I can’t believe I finally won,” he said adding an expletive. The Hollywood Foreign Press really went eclectic when it came to these TV awards. “The Affair” and Ruth Wilson? Really? The girl from “Jane the Virgin” is better than Julia Louis Dreyfus? On the movie side, some of the winners will not carry over to the Oscars. And Michael Keaton’s emotional speech sounded like he was running for office. I’ll put up a story or two about the parties and all the backstage stuff in the morning. By the way disregard stories about music producer Richard Perry passing out. The room was about 150 degrees. He needed some air, and wound up just going home. I spoke to him later and he was fine. Richard is getting the Trustees Award at the Grammys next month.

France attacks: Paris march

People start gathering at Place de la Republique in Paris before the demonstration, in Paris, France, 11 January 2015
  • Huge crowds expected in Paris for unity march after three days of terror left 17 people dead
  • 40 world leaders including UK PM Cameron and German Chancellor Merkel attending
  • Rally held after attacks at Charlie Hebdo magazine and kosher supermarket
  • Supermarket gunman Ahmedy Coulibaly apparently seen in video pledging allegiance to Islamic State
  • France on high alert as security is stepped up at synagogues and Jewish institutions
  • All times in GMt

  • Crowds are already gathering in Paris' Place de la Republique ahead of this afternoon's march.
  • French President Francois Hollande has reassured the country's Jewish community that they will be protected in the wake of Coulibaly's attack on the kosher supermarket which left four people dead.
    He made the assurance at a meeting with Jewish leaders at the Elysee Palace. One of those who attended said new security measures to protect synagogues and Jewish institutions would be put in place from today.

    Amedy Coulibaly in screengrab from his video posted 11 January 2015
    Text accompanying the video says Coulibaly was behind the deaths of a policewoman and "five Jews", also claiming he had planted a bomb on a car in Paris.

    The seven-minute, slickly edited video shows Coulibaly variously doing press-ups, dressed in robes, and displaying an array of automatic weapons and handguns.
    Asked whether he has links with the Charlie Hebdo killers, Cherif and Said Kouachi, he says: "The brothers of our team were split into two groups… I went out a bit against the police.
    "If we did things a bit together and a bit separately, it was to have more impact."

    A video has emerged in which Coulibaly, who also reportedly shot dead a policewoman on Thursday, claims to be acting on behalf of Islamic State (IS). In the video, he pledges his allegiance to Caliph Ibrahim al-Baghdadi, the head of IS, and says he was co-ordinating his attacks with the two brothers who attacked the Charlie Hebdo offices on Wednesday.

    Hayat Boumeddiene, the partner of Amedy Coulibaly - who attacked a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris on Friday, killing four hostages and taking hostages before being killed by police - is still wanted by police. She is thought to have fled France last week.
    Officials believe she may have entered Turkey en route to Syria.

    Meanwhile, French police are still seeking accomplices of the gunmen who attacked satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket.
    Eleven people were killed at the magazine offices in Paris on Wednesday, with a policeman shot dead nearby. Four hostages died at the supermarket on Friday.
