Alfonso Cuaron's 'Roma' registers twin win at Golden Globes

Alfonso Cuaron's critically-loved "Roma" took home two trophies -- Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director -- at the Golden Globe Awards.

The Academy award-winning director, who is widely expected to win major nominations at the Oscars again with the semi-autobiographical black-and-white drama, said "cinema at its best tears down walls and builds bridges to other cultures."
Cuaron said "as we cross these bridges" and experience new shapes and faces, "we begin to realise that while they may be strange, they are not unfamiliar. We begin to understand exactly how much we have in common."
Cuaron thanked his leading ladies -- Yaltiza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira -- for "all of what they did in this film" as well as Ted Sarandos and "all the Netflix team that really made an amazing effort to bring this film all around the world."
