“I want to say something nice about Mel before he comes out so …” Amazon’s comedy “Mozart In The Jungle” took the prize for best comedy series.
Sean Penn: After the revelation that Sean Penn’s secret interview with notorious Mexican drug lord “El Chapo” led to the kingpin’s arrest (!), you knew that Gervais wouldn’t be able to let the night slide by without a dig at the Oscar victor. “And I blame NBC for this awful situation”.
Best actress went to Brie Larson, the breakout star of the captive mother-son drama “Room”.
-Actress, Musical or Comedy: Jennifer Lawrence, “Joy”. “But my wife, thank you, Lucy, for everything”.
