Queen film Bohemian Rhapsody, the highest-grossing biopic of all-time, was awarded with the "Best Motion Picture - Drama" award last night (Sunday, January 6th) at the 76th Golden Globe Awards. Rami Malek, who portrays late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in the film, took home the award for "Best Performance By An Actor In A Motion Picture".
"I think it's the biggest surprise of our career, really," said Queen guitarist Brian May in reaction to the award. "Unbelievable, completely unexpected, and completely joyous. How extraordinary."
"We're kind of lost for words," said drummer Roger Taylor. "Rami really deserved to win. This is just so much icing on the cake, and I'm not even in the movie!"
Asked how it felt accepting his award, Rami Maklek revealed, "I honesty don't remember one thing I said up there. It was a euphoric feeling. I thought that the height of this adrenaline and euphoria was on that Live Aid stage. If anything can match that, it was being up there right now, accepting this award."
He continued, "To share this with Queen, it's an out of body experience."
