Jeff Bridges won the best drama actor prize at the Golden Globes here Sunday for his performance as a washed up country singer in "Crazy Heart."
The 60-year-old Hollywood veteran, who had been nominated for a Golden Globe on three previous occasions but never won, has received widespread critical plaudits for his performance.
Other nominees in the category included George Clooney for "Up in the Air," Colin Firth for "A Single Man," Morgan Freeman, ("Invictus,") and Tobey Maguire ("Brothers.")
James Cameron scooped the best director prize at the Golden Globes here Sunday for his 3-D science fiction blockbuster "Avatar."
