Brokeback Corrals 4 Golden Globes | Ang Lee, Reese Witherspoon
Brokeback Mountain emerged as the most honored film of 2005 at Monday night's 63rd annual Golden Globe Awards.

In all, the movie romance, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as two cowboys who spend years grappling with their feelings for one another, scored in four categories: best dramatic picture, best screenplay, best song ("A Love That Will Never Grow Old," sung by Emmylou Harris) and best director Ang Lee.

Accepting his Globe from presenter Clint Eastwood onstage at the Beverly Hilton hotel, a nervous Lee exclaimed, "Wow, getting this award, from the man, is too much."

Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon both won top prizes for their roles in the Johnny Cash bio Walk the Line, which also took the Globe as best picture, musical or comedy.

"Who'd ever thought that I'd win in the comedy or musical category?" Phoenix said. "Not expected."

Among those he thanked were "of course John and June (Cash), for sharing their lives with all of us."

Capote star Philip Seymour Hoffman won best actor in drama for his portrayal of In Cold Blood author Truman Capote.

Felicity Huffman took the Globe for best dramatic actress in a film, Transamerica, in which she plays a transgender individual. "I would like to salute the men and women who brave ostracism and life on the margins to become who they are," she said, also thanking her small-screen Desperate Housewives costars, who were all shut out in the best TV actress category. (Mary-Louise Parker won for Weeds.)

Housewives, however, was named best comedy series. Steve Carell was named best actor in a comedy series (The Office).

In the drama division, Lost, won for best series; Geena Davis, series actress (Commander in Chief); and Hugh Laurie (House) dramatic series actor.

John Williams's film score for Memoirs of a Geisha won a Globe, that picture's only win. Paradise Now, from Palestine, was named best foreign-language movie.

Gwyneth Paltrow presented the Cecil B. DeMille Award, for lifetime achievement, to her costar in last year's Proof, Sir Anthony Hopkins. She noted that it was his 100th film, after his having started onscreen opposite Katharine Hepburn in 1968's A Lion in Winter.
