REPORT: 'American Hustle' leads golden globes, '12 years a slave' takes best drama

David O. Russell's con-artist caper "American Hustle" led the Golden Globes with three awards, including best film comedy.         

And despite missing out in the other six categories it was nominated in, the unflinching historical drama "12 Years a Slave" concluded the night as best film drama.             
Russell's 1970s Abscam fictionalization "American Hustle" had the better night overall, winning acting awards for Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence.               

Best picture was the only award for "12 Years a Slave," which came in with seven nominations, tied for the most with "American Hustle."                                 

The awards returned Lawrence, a winner last year for Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook," to the stage for an acceptance speech - something she said was no easier a year later.                             

Leonardo DiCaprio, a nine-time Golden Globe nominee, won his second Globe for best actor in a comedy for his uninhibited work in "The Wolf of Wall Street."
