"I am absolutely so humbled," The Help's Davis, 46, told audience members. "I wanted to be somebody. I wanted to dream big and make a mark somehow, and that's something absolutely that [my character] Aibileen was not afforded. I considered it my honor to pay homage to these women at this time period who were not allowed to dream."

When The Descendants' Clooney, 50, accepted his trophy, he joked that "it seems like The Help table is having the most fun." Read on for the full list of winners:
