“The Fighter” might have an uphill battle in the Best Motion Picture category, but it will not be leaving the 68th Annual Golden Globes empty-handed. Its supporting actors swept their respective categories at the 2011 awards broadcast.
In the first award of the night, Christian Bale won the supporting actor in a drama prize for his work as Dicky Eklund in the acclaimed boxing picture.
Up against her co-star Amy Adams, Melissa Leo also won for her work as Alice Eklund.
Mark Wahlberg, who starred as Micky Ward, remains in contention for the lead actor award.
