A local indigenous woman who starred in the Revenant is applauding Leonardo DiCaprio’s acceptance speech at Sunday night’s Golden Globes. There is a silver lining to everything – even drama at the Golden Globes. Comcast was the only other company that was close, racking up a total of four. The science fiction flick “The Martian” got best comedy movie and is said to also have a chance to get an Oscar for best picture.

It does not hurt that the film also won for best picture and best director at the Globes, ensuring the survival epic also will be a major player in the Oscars race.

The next test for some will be the Oscars in February; those at the Golden Globes that don’t make feature films that are released in theaters aren’t eligible. Sometimes the Golden Globes really do recognize good work, and America Ferrera and Eva Longoria can have fun calling out Hollywood’s institutional racism, and Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer can goof around for a few minutes onstage and it feels like the world is a nicer place. “That little incident got so much pickup that it only made her win that much bigger!” See?
