David Lean's historical-romance drama Doctor Zhivago, set during WWI and the Russian Civil War, took home five Golden Globes at the 23rd annual ceremony February 28, 1965. It won all categories for which it was nominated. It was by far the biggest winner of the night.
Doctor Zhivago won Best Picture - Drama. Omar Sharif won Best Actor for his work in the titular role. David Lean won Best Director. Maurice Jarre won for Best Original Score, beating Henry Mancini for his work on The Great Race. Robert Bolt won for Best Screenplay.
The only other movie to win more than one award was The Sound of Music, who won two of four nominations. It won Best Film - Musical or Comedy and Julie Andrews won Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. Robert Wise was nominated for Best Director but lost to Lean. Peggy Wood was nominated for Best Supporting Actress but lost to Ruth Gordon.
The Great Race, one of my favorites, received four nominations, but failed to win any awards.
