U2's 'Ordinary Love' from the Nelson Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom soundtrack took home the trophy for Best Original Song at last night's Golden Globes Awards 2014 (12 January).

Bono and co beat off stiff competiton from the likes of Coldplay, Taylor Swift and more - winning another Globe following on from being rewarded for 2003's 'Hands That Built America' from Martin Scorsese's Gangs Of New York. 

The band were close friends of Nelson Mandela, having started working with the former South African President and the anti-Apartheid movement  in the late 1970s.

"This really is personal, very very personal," said frontman Bono during the band's acceptance speech. "This man turned our life upside down, right side up. A man who refused to hate but he thought love would do a better job. We wrote a love song because its kind of what's extraordinary about the film. It's a dysfunctional love story."

Meanwhile, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros' Alex Ebert won another musical Globe with Best Original Score for his work on J.C. Chandor's All Is Lost, and 30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto took home a globe for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Dallas Buyers Club.

U2 are set to release their new album this year on Island Records. The LP will be their first since 2009's No Line On the Horizon, and it's strongly rumoured they will officially announce details of the record during the SuperBowl's ad breaks in February. It is rumoured for release in April 2014.
