Civil rights drama The Help about black maids in the 1960s won three trophies, for lead actress Viola Davis, supporting actress Octavia Spencer and the ensemble cast.
George Clooney was named Best Actor for his role as the harried father in The Descendants, beating out rivals such as Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Drive was named best action movie, while Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris won for best original script and Brad Pitt's Moneyball for Adapted Screenplay.
