Prince was the surprise guest at last night's Golden Globes, presenting the Best Original Song award to Common and John Legend for 'Glory'. Watch the video below.

In a night of many brilliant jokes (mostly at the expense of George Clooney and Wes Anderson) and some excellent speeches (particularly from a foul-mouthed Kevin Spacey), one moment stood out particularly for sheer star power: when Prince walked on stage to present John Legend and Common with their award for 'Glory' from the Selma soundtrack.

Footage captured everyone from Louis CK to Viola Davis (via a wolf whistling Channing Tatum) expressing their delight. Prince, naturally kept it short and sweet. 

Watch Prince present John Legend and Common with their Golden Globe.

 

Legend and Common emerged triumphant in a particularly tough catergory beating Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Patti Smith and Sia to the award.

 

Yessssss!!!! Glory! @johnlegend @goldenglobes @selmamovie
