Netflix totalled nine nominations at this year’s show, including two for 2015 debut Narcos, plus one each for Master of None, Bloodline, and Grace and Frankie. Jennifer Lawrence, victor for best actress-comedy for her film Joy, was also snapped talking with ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult.
Maura Tierney won for Best Supporting Actress in a Series for “The Affair”.
“The Revenant” and “The Martian” were the night’s top winners, with three Golden Globes each. She also beat out her friend Amy Schumer in the category. The biggest snub of the night was to lesbian romance Carol which returned empty handed despite five nominations. It was Hamm’s sixth nomination and second win.
