osts Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh kicked off the Golden Globes on Sunday, with hit music romance "A Star Is Born" the frontrunner at the year's first and sassiest awards gala.

The Globes, which got underway at 5:00 pm (0100 GMT Monday), is the only awards show where alcohol is served, usually ensuring a more colorful affair than showbiz's other big nights.

Oh and Samberg started the proceedings with light-hearted banter and jokes -- and very little of the cutting commentary that was common in past years.
