BEST ACTOR While this certainly feels like Leonardo DiCaprio’s year to win after losing out five times during his storied career, he has won two Golden Globes before that obviously didn’t guarantee an Oscar win.
The biggest tossup is in the Best Director category – only 52% of Globes winners won an Oscar for directing!
DiCaprio, 41, who has yet to win an Oscar, received a standing ovation and said he shared his award with indigenous people around the world. “It is time we recognize your history and that we protect your indigenous lands from corporate interests and people out there to exploit them”. He was also was the most searched of the best actor nominees in the past week, ahead of Will Smith, who was nominated for his role in “Concussion”.
However, the most surprising victor of the night was Mozart in the Jungle, which not only took home the Golden Globe for Best Comedy, Gael García Bernal also took home the Best Actor in a Comedy trophy, beating out the likes of Jeffrey Tambor, Aziz Ansari, and thespian Patrick Stewart.

In a previous interview with CBC News, Tootoosis said he didn’t know much about the star of the film until he returned home and was shown DiCaprio’s movies Titanic and Gangs of NY.
The statistic drops even more for Best Picture!
“Steve Jobs”: Critics blamed Steve Jobs fatigue – another scripted film, “Jobs”, came out in 2013, and Alex Gibney’s documentary was released in 2015 – for this Danny Boyle biopic’s poor reception at the box office.

Best actress went to Brie Larson, the breakout star of the captive mother-son drama “Room”. Jane Fonda (Youth), Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight) and Helen Mirren (Trumbo) seem just as strong, and two Oscar hopefuls in the category – Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl) and Rooney Mara (Carol) – both were vying in best actress at the Globes.
