Hollywood is renowned for worshipping the young and beautiful at the expense of older industry veterans.
But this year, it seems age was no barrier with a large number of category winners in the over 50 age group, announced at today's gala event in Los Angeles.
Being a proud Australian, it would be remiss not to mention up front our very own Over Fifty Still Fabulous, Russell Crowe, who won the Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series or Motion Picture made for Television for his role in The Loudest Voice.
Russell wasn't at the event to accept the award - he's still fighting fires on his doorstep at Nana Glen near Coffs Harbour in NSW.
Laura Dern - didn't you just love her in Big Little Lies? - won Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for Marriage Story.
Renee Zellweger won Best Actress in a Drama Movie for her portrayal of Judy Garland and Brad Pitt got the gong for Best Supporting Actor for Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.
The huge increase in production to support and provide content for the ever-expanding digital world has provided much-needed employment for the entire sector and it's good to see industry veterans getting work and accolades.

Stellan Skarsgård, Chernoby - Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture made for Television
