Continuing an extraordinarily successful night for the musical film - which had already scooped Best Original Score, Song and Screenplay before Gosling’s triumph - he paid emotional tribute

to his partner Eva Mendes. He told the A-list audience how she had helped nurse his brother-in-law during a tragic cancer fight, thus enabling him to go off and shoot the movie. Watch it

below: “You don’t get to be up here without standing on the shoulders of a mountain of people,” he said. “I just want to thank one person properly: when I was singing and dancing and having

one of the best experiences anyone could have on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer. “If she

hadn’t taken all that on so I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me.” He added: “So sweetheart, thank you. To my daughters, I love you. If I can,

I’d like to dedicate this to the memory of her brother, Carlos Mendez. Thank you very much.” His win came after other big movie acting prizes were scooped by Viola Davis and Aaron

Taylor-Johnson. His co-star Emma Stone is still waiting to find out if she has scooped the Best Actress - Musical or Comedy trophy. SEE THE FULL LIST OF WINNERS HERE.
