Helen MirrenHelen MirrenFlights from LA to Heathrow may be a little heavier than normal this week.

The reason? The Brits stole the show at the Golden Globes.

The top British export for the night was Helen Mirren, who left with both hands full - with one gong for best actress in a drama (movie) for The Queen and another for best actress in a mini-series or TV movie for Elizabeth I.

Sacha Baron Cohen was a surprise winner in the best actor in a musical or comedy (movie) category for his portrayal of Borat.

And Peter Morgan won best screenplay for The Queen.

But it was in the TV categories that it paid to be British, with a whopping five out of eight acting statues needing a British passport.

Jeremy Irons was named best supporting actor in  (TV) for Elizabeth I and newcomer Emily Blunt stole the best actress nod for Gideon's Daughter from the likes of Toni Collette.

The best actor in a TV drama went Hugh Laurie's way for his role in House - beating off stiff competition from such stars as Kiefer Sutherland (24) and Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy).

Rounding off the great night to be from Blighty was Bill Nighy's trophy for best actor in a mini-series of TV movie for Gideon's Daughter.

Let's hope they're all allowed a little extra luggage allowance on their return flights.
