‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ has won three major prizes at the Golden Globes, taking home the best comedy or musical film and best screenplay, as well as best comedy actor for one of the film's leads, Irish actor Colin Farrell.

The film sees Colin Farrell reunite with director Martin McDonagh and co-star Brendan Gleeson. The trio have previously worked together back in 2007 on the cult film ‘In Bruges.’

This sci-fi movie sees Ke Huy Yeoh play a laundrette worker who hops through the multiverse exploring different versions of herself.

Accepting her award at the ceremony, Key Huy Yeoh said: "I turned 60 last year. And I think all of you women understand this: as the days, the years and the numbers get bigger, it seems like opportunities start to get smaller.” She continued with “And I probably was at a time when I thought, 'well hey, you had a really good run, you worked with some of the best people... then along came the best gift - Everything Everywhere All at Once."
