Collecting the best director award, Linklater said: "I want to dedicate this to parents that are evolving everywhere and families that are just passing through this world and doing their best.
"Bottom line is we're all flawed in this world. No one's perfect."
Meanwhile, Redmayne beat competition from fellow Brits Benedict Cumberbatch (for The Imitation Game) and David Oyelowo (for Selma) to the best actor award.
On collecting his trophy, Redmayne revealed he cut short his honeymoon to attend the ceremony in Beverly Hills. He said: "I promised her sunshine - it wasn't so great today - but thanks for giving us a honeymoon we'll remember."
The actor was the only Briton to win an award in the film categories despite a strong showing in the nominations.
His co-star Felicity Jones missed out on the best drama actress award to Julianne Moore, who played an academic with early onset Alzheimer's in Still Alice.

Comedy drama Birdman had led nominations going into the ceremony with seven nods. The film collected two awards - one for Michael Keaton as best actor in a comedy or musical and one for best screenplay.
An emotional Keaton said: "You have no idea what this means to me. I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for even having a comedy category."
Whiplash star JK Simmons collected the prize for best supporting actor. He thanked his co-star Miles Teller for being a person he wanted to "slap in the face", referencing a memorable scene in the film.
