On the other hand Brie Larson continued her status as the front-runner as she won Best Actress in a Drama for her performance in “Room”.
“I’m just proud so numerous facets of Carol have been recognised because I’ve been with it for a long time”, Blanchett told AAP.
Matt Damon won the Best actor in a comedy for “The Martian” but his win was more of a buzz boost for an Oscar nomination.
While the Internet agreed with the best movie award for “The Revenant”, the most searched film for best musical or comedy was actually “The Big Short”, instead of “The Martian”.
“A comedy?” Scott said on stage.
In perhaps the most emotional moment of the evening, Sylvester Stallone, victor of the supporting actor motion picture award for “Creed”, thanked his character Rocky Balboa “for being the best friend I’ve ever had”.
“I do think [The Revenant] is in the hunt now”, said Hogan, pointing out that the film’s impressive box office last weekend, nearly overtaking “The Force Awakens” as the weekend’s No. 1, is a push in the right direction.
But DiCaprio was not the only one who defied the time limit.
There were a large number of bleeped-out words during the telecast of the show, from Jonah Hill swearing while pretending to be the bear from “The Revenant”, to Amy Schumer using an expletive while enaging in light-hearted banter with Lawrence.
In an election year, Gervais had the only cutting political remark in the show’s first hour.
“I’m going to do this monologue and then go into hiding”, Gervais said.
“I’d rather have a drink with him than Bill Cosby”.
“I love seeing Ricky once every three years because it reminds me to get a colonoscopy”. “She didn’t do a lot for women drivers”, referring to Jenner’s vehicle accident in early 2015. The Revenant was also named best picture.
The British actress beat nominees Jane Fonda, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Helen Mirren and Alicia Vikander to win the award.
Oscar Isaac, a star of the box-office behemoth “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, won best actor in a miniseries for HBO’s “Show Me a Hero”.
The Best Supporting Actress category continues to be a question mark as Kate Winslet won the award unexpectedly for “Steve Jobs”. Ennio Morricone winning the score prize for The Hateful Eight was nearly worth enduring Quentin Tarantino yammering on about his own genius in coaxing Morricone out of retirement. The film also won Best Motion Picture.
Katy Perry presented Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes with the award.
