American actress Maura Tierney, who is best known for her role as nurse Abby Lockhart on ER, has won the Best Supporting Actress Series-Limited Series TV Movie Golden Globe.

AMC’s “Mad Men” ended its run with a memorable scene, ad man Draper supposedly getting the idea for a Coke commercial that was a landmark in the 1970s. Nursing an ever-present beer, the host additionally implied that a Golden Globe win could be bought, said Paul McCartney was flying coach to save money after that huge divorce settlement and said a couple of times that he wouldn’t be invited back as host.
His material that night included the joke heard ’round the world: “I like a drink as much as the next man. Unless the next man is Mel Gibson”, he said as he introduced the actor notorious for his earlier drunken driving arrest. After winning for “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle“, she made it three for “Joy“. “What a year she’s had, she became a role model (but) she didn’t do a lot for women drivers”.
He also blamed alcohol in a pre-emptive apology posted on Twitter last week: “Because I can see the future, I’d like to apologise now for the things I said at next week’s Golden Globes”.

Best actress went to Brie Larson, the breakout star of the captive mother-son drama “Room“. That’s the name of her character, the ex-convict matriarch in Fox’s sensation “Empire“.
“She’s gonna be fine”, Lawrence said backstage.
Scott was also pegged by many for best director, too, but that honor went to Alejandro Inarritu for the frontier thriller “The Revenant“, fresh off a $37 million debut that almost topple the box-office behemoth “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” – which didn’t screen in time for the Hollywood Foreign Press to consider. “We got six rejections in one day but we knew it was good”. No one expects him to hold back this year. That film, however, won best film comedy and best actor in a comedy for Matt Damon.
Jeffrey Tambor of “Transparent” was considered such a favorite by insiders that fellow nominee Aziz Ansari pretended to read a book, “How to Lose to Jeffrey Tambor With Dignity” as he was introduced. He was laughing hard as she hugged him. He handled it with grace, she said.

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“.
