Morgan Freeman, Octavia Spencer and Idris Elba were amongst the many celebrities who received awards during the 2012 Golden Globes held this past Sunday night.

Morgan Freeman was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award, to honor his influential contribution to the film industry. Idris Elba snagged the best performance award for his role in the BBC show Luther.

Octavia Spenser took home the best supporting actress award for her role in The Help.
