Lady Gaga shares top prize

In A Star Is Born, Gaga plays an emerging pop star married to Bradley Cooper’s ageing rocker who is battling drink and drug addictions.

And Gaga dedicated the film to people battling addiction.

She said: “I wanted to show the truth. The true star of the film is not me, it is bravery and it is perseverance.”

Earlier in the evening, Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette shared the best actress in a limited series or movie made for television award.

Adams was recognised for Sharp Objects while Arquette won for Escape At Dannemora.
