But all eyes at the annual gala held in Beverly Hills were on which movie would win the coveted award for best motion picture drama – and whether Leonardo DiCaprio would win the best actor drama prize for “The Revenant”. Gael Garcia Bernal, the star of “Mozart”, won for best actor in a TV comedy or musical, and Lisa Bloom of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” – which airs on the CW – took the trophy for best actress in a comedy or musical.

“The Revenant”, however, carried the night.
DiCaprio was the penultimate victor when he was named best actor in a motion picture drama for his portrayal of fur trapper Hugh Glass in revenge epic The Revenant.
“Every film is so hard to make”.
Referring to the film’s arduous shoot in the Canadian Rockies, Innaritu said: “Pain is temporary. So who cares?” he said.
“Mozart in the Jungle” was a surprise victor as best TV comedy series.
“But I wouldn’t bet my money on it because there are other possibilities”, he said.
Best animated film went to Pixar’s acclaimed “Inside Out”. Scott asked, looking at the statuette in his hand.
“Relax, I’m going to try to be nice”, he claimed during his monologue. But according to Matt Damon, it’s not even a comedy. Its Golden Globes tally to date: 0. We were uncomfortable. Rather than leave the worst to our imaginations, Gervais actually said that he puts his Golden Globe up his – forget it. We’ll let you listen to the clip. He then saluted the cast and crew of “The Martian” and said its success was all due to Scott. After winning for “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle“, she made it three for “Joy“. All three of her wins have been in films directed by David O. Russell. “Thank you for choosing me”. She didn’t do a lot for women drivers. Listen, I’m sure it’s embarrassing for both of us.
Along with his award for best supporting actor for his performance in Creed, Sylvester Stallone received a standing ovation.
Picking up the Golden Globe for best actor in a Supporting Role in a TV series is Christian Slater for his role in Mr Robot.
The spar continued as Gervais whispered a bleeped-out comment to Gibson that left the audience both laughing and gaping in shock.
Perhaps no one was more stunned that she won best supporting actress for Steve Jobs than a visibly startled Kate Winslet herself, though it’s still hard to see her continuing that momentum to an Oscar victory.
But a win is a win, and although this awards season is far from predetermined, neither “The Martian” nor “The Revenant” were considered real frontrunners, especially against nominees like “Spotlight”, “Carol”, “Mad Max: Fury Road“, and “The Big Short”. “These categories are so crowded and crammed with incredible integrity and skill and I feel prouder than ever to be included”.
She praised her co-star, Michael Fassbender, whom she called “a legend”.
Unlike the Oscars, the Golden Globes also honours television shows.
It was a night of surprises and shutouts at the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday night.
Inarritu won best director for the second year in a row after last year’s “Birdman“.
Last year, the Golden Globe for best drama went to “Boyhood”. However, it lost the Best TV Comedy title to Amazon, and its “Games of Thrones” lost Best TV Drama to USA’s breakout hit “Mr. Robot”. He also claimed that the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which organizes the Globes, had warned Gervais that “if I say anything offensive or crass or resort to innuendo, he is going to come out here and personally pull me off” the stage. Comedies nearly never win these kinds of awards. He thanked the HFPA for the support to their long support of the show and his “horrible” character, Don Draper.
Taraji P. Henson won best actress in a drama for her role as the deliciously devious Cookie in Empire.
“It is, ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, ‘” said Allyson. So I guess we should be “grateful” that it wasn’t that offensive, but it also wasn’t enjoyable.
His diatribe against Hollywood added an enjoyable irreverence to the proceedings, no more so than when he said: “You’re filth, all of you”, as the feed came back unexpectedly. “But music worked out first”.

The victory of “Wolf Hall” in the category of best TV movie or miniseries led to an global political pitch.
