The true stars of this year's Golden Globes were not the nominees, the dresses or even the awards themselves.

Embiricos was 25. Andrew Ali Aga Khan Embiricos was the son of economist and shipping heir Basil Embiricos and Princess Yasmin Aga Khan. He was also the nephew of Prince Karim, Aga Khan IV.

The made-in-England story of King George VI and his struggle to overcome a stutter won seven prizes, including best picture and acting trophies for Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush.

It beat "The Social Network," "Black Swan," "Inception" and "True Grit" to the best picture prize.
