U2 win best original song at Golden Globes

ROCK giants U2 and director Martin Scorsese won top Golden Globe awards for their work on the epic movie Gangs of New York.

Scorsese was named best director while best original song went to U2 for their track, The Hands That Built America.

But it was two films packed with strong female roles that triumphed at the 60th annual Golden Globe Awards. The jazz-belting lady prisoners of Chicago won best musical-comedy and The Hours claimed best drama for its tale of women seeking solace in the work of suicidal author Virginia Woolf.
