Beyoncé and Jay-Z sneak in late to the Golden Globes and get their security guard to carry their own booze

BEYONCÉ and Jay-Z had to wait to be seated at last night's Golden Globes after sneaking in late the A-list ceremony after it had already begun.

The power couple were pictured standing inside the star-studded Beverly Hills venue waiting to be seated while Kate McKninnon finished presenting Ellen DeGeneres with the Carol Burnett Award for Achievement in Television.

Their burly security guard was seen nearby clutching two bottles of Ace Of Spades champagne behind his back.

Rap legend Jay is a major stakeholder in the luxury brand, having bought a $200million share of the company in 2017.

When they were finally seated at their table, the distinctive golden bottles could be seen in front of them beside bottles of Moet & Chandon, who were one of the sponsors of the event.

There were no hard feelings on the table despite the late entrance.

The duo were seated next to Ellen and her wife Portia Di Rossi, while Sacha Baron Cohen as did J Lo was pictured having a laugh with the couple.

And while Bey might have looked golden, she didn't leave with a matching gong.

She lost out in the Best Original Song category for her song Spirit from The Lion King to I'm Gonna Love Me Again from Rocketman.

Elsewhere Brit Phoebe Waller-Bridge bagged her first two Golden Globe awards during Sunday night's ceremony as British stars owned the night at the lavish American ceremony.

Rocketman star Taron Egerton, The Crown's Olivia Colman, 1917 director Sam Mendes, Chernobyl star Jared Harris, Elton John and his writing partner Bernie Taupin all walked away with coveted gongs on the night.

In true style, many of the speeches were fresh and honest with Phoebe making a cheeky quip about Barack Obama, reminding the audience that Fleabag pleasures herself to a video of the former US president in the first season.

The British actress and writer won one of the first gongs of the night as she was crowned for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy.

Phoebe, 34, made a typically modest speech as she admitted: "Thank you, this is really heavy and cool."

She continued: "This all comes down to Andrew Scott really because... that man!

"There is a lot of talk about the chemistry between us, but he can have chemistry with a pebble. So I’m really glad to have been your pebble tonight."

She then made a cheeky quip about the show’s small budget at the hands of Amazon and BBC as she thanked the cast and crew that worked alongside her on the breakout comedy series.

Olivia Colman

She was just as pleased to bag the gong for Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy and gushed: "Huge, huge thank you to everyone for supporting us so much. Everyone poured so much into this show."

Phoebe continued: "We all became best friends which amazing because this show is about such a lonely lady.

"Personally I would like to thank Obama for putting us on his list. As some of you may know, he’s always been on mine. And if some of you don’t get that, then watch season one of Fleabag."

Her comment came after the former US president named season two of the series as one of his favourite TV shows in 2019.

Taron Egerton was moved tears as he was awarded Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy for his role as Elton John in Rocketman.

In a sweet speech, he said: "I’m so honoured to be nominated among such a bunch of icons.

"This role has changed my life, it has been the best experience of my life, it’s such an amazing film. To Elton John, thank you for the music, for living a life less ordinary and for being my friend."

Olivia Colman was named Best Actress in a Television Series - Drama and during her acceptance speech about playing Queen Elizabeth II she admitted: "For the last year I feel like I've been living someone else's life and now I feel like I'm winning someone else's award."

She also added she was "a little bit boozy" before her win, adding she was "completely stumped" over the Globes honour for her role in The Crown.

Meanwhile Sam Mendes took home the award for Best Director for 1917, and the World War I film also went on to win the coveted Best Motion Picture - Drama gong.

Elton John and longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin won the award for Best Original Song and British actor Jared Harris was part of the cast awarded for Best Television Limited Series.

The 77th Golden Globes were held at the swanky Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

The event was hosted by British comedian Ricky Gervais for the fifth - and final - time.

The lavish awards ceremony is the first big event in the Hollywood calendar and is believed to influence the outcome of the Academy awards as Oscar nomination voting closes just days after the Globes.

Hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a non-profit organisation of showbiz journalist and photographers, the ceremony was created in 1943 to award critically-acclaimed films and TV shows.
