“Mr. Robot” and “Mozart In The Jungle” late on January 10 took home the awards for best TV series at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards here.

The wins mark two consecutive awards in each category for Amazon, following Transparent’s Best Comedy win and Jeffrey Tambor being named Best Actor in a TV Comedy previous year.

Henson said she was surprised she won for “Empire” and not for previous roles in the films “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” or the remake of “The Karate Kid”.

Veteran Maura Tierney won a supporting actress for her work as the spurned wife in Showtime’s “The Affair”, a role that required a lot of quiet seething.

Actors Jennifer Lawrence and Matt Damon took home the awards for best actress and best actor in a motion picture – comedy for “Joy” and “The Martian”.

Actor Sylvester Stallone was given a standing ovation by the audience as he won the best supporting actor in a motion picture for “Creed“.

-Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin, “Steve Jobs”.

It was developed by Roman Coppola, Jason Schwartzman and Alex Timbers, and stars Gael García Bernal – who also won Best Actor in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy on Sunday – along with Lola Kirke, Malcolm McDowell, Saffron Burrows, Hannah Dunne, Peter Vack and Bernadette Peters.

The song “Writing’s on the wall”, sung by Grammy victor Sam Smith for “Spectre”, won the best original song while the best original score award was won by Ennio Morricone for “The Hateful Eight”.

What’s most surprising to me about Mozart in the Jungles’ wins is that it’s not a low-rated, but provocative show like Mr. Robot or a low-rated, but edgy musical comedy like My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Actors in both shows – Christian Slater for “Mr. Robot” and Gabriel Garcia Bernal for “Mozart in the Jungle” – also won.
