The two films – split in separate categories by Globes organizers, meaning they were not competing against each other – are now in prime position as Hollywood’s annual awards season heats up ahead of the Oscars on February 28. Watch host Ricky Gervais insult the whole movie industry, find out who dressed up as a bear and check out Leonardo DiCaprio giving Lady Gaga evils as she collected her gong. Aaron Sorkin won Best Screen Play for a Motion Picture. However, the most widely-viewed Golden Globes in recent years was in 2014, a night hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

Twice-nominated Orange is the New Black lost out yet again, having been given the hat tilt three times in 2015, while last year’s victor for best actor in a TV drama House of Cards also left empty handed. “She’s amusing and hilarious and will win many things”.
As for the Television Series category, “Mr. Robot” and “Mozart in the Jungle” were awarded as the Best TV Series for the Drama and Comedy categories, respectively, while “Wolf Hall” got the recognition for Best TV Movie or Limited Series.
Alongside DiCaprio’s award for best actor in a drama, The Revenant also won in the best drama and best director categories.
Surprises marked the Golden Globes, which award excellence in television and movies and took place January 10, airing on NBC. However, the comparable award at the Golden Globes went to Sylvester Stallone for the actor’s comeback performance as the iconic Rocky Balboa in “Creed”. But for the most part, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (which gives out these awards) has successfully sold the narrative of Gervais as fearless provocateur, and from the minute he stepped on stage Sunday, it was clear he was going to ride that horse as far as it would take him. She won this award for her performance in American Horror Story: Hotel.
The veteran actor is still Oscar-less after winning the Golden Globe for best actor for his role in the The Revenant, and several publications are predicting this is the role that’ll finally earn him an Oscar as well.
Inside Out won Best Animated Motion Picture. He thanked Gonzalez Inarritu who also won a globe for directing the film.
Other Oscar hopefuls that won last night are Brie Larson who won for best actress in a drama.

And if you thought Gervais’s Golden Globes jokes were harsh, wait until you hear Bowie sing about the “chubby little loser” “who’s banal and facile” and “blows his stupid brains out”.
