She divided opinion at the Golden Globes in a quirky dress and odd shoes, b

Andrew Garfield - winner

Good heavens, it’s a boy! The Social Network star Andrew Garfield is wearing a suit, like most of the boys who go to awards ceremonies.

Minnie Driver - loser

We wonder if Minnie Driver has spent a bit too much time in the perpetually sunny LA with her choice of summery white Alice Temperley gown.

Hailee Steinfeld - winner

We’re about to see a lot more of 14 year old Hailee as she accumulates nominations for her role in the Coen brother’s True Grit.
