Sean Penn drama adds surreal undercurrent to Golden Globes

“I want to thank my imaginary friend Rocky Balboa for being the best friend I ever had”, said Stallone, who received a standing ovation. Stallone beat out Paul Dano for Love and Mercy, Idris Elba for Beasts of No Nation, Michael Shannon for 99 Homes and Mark Rylance for Bridge of Spies.

You never really know what’s going to happen at the Golden Globes, which is what makes them so much fun to watch.

Transparent actor Jeffrey Tambor, who is nominated for best TV actor in a comedy, was joined by his co-stars and the show’s creator as he arrived at the ceremony.

“Aside from the fact that it’s been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I’d say the vibe of the show is pretty good so far”, he said. That film, however, won best film comedy and best actor in a comedy for Matt Damon.

That didn’t stop Winslet from an exuberant acceptance speech, nor did it mute early winners Rachel Bloom (best actress in a TV series comedy for “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”) and Maura Tierney (best actress in a series, limited series or TV movie for “The Affair”). “Not even Sean Penn will find me“, he quipped in reference to the actor’s clandestine meeting with Mexican drug kingpin, El Chapo.

Ricky Gervais tweeted to his 10.5 million followers ahead of the Golden Globes.

The Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy TV series has been scooped by Gael Garcia Beral for his performance in Mozart in the Jungle. “Thank you for being such an incredible colleague and friend”.

USA’s “Mr. Robot” won best TV drama for its first season, besting more established favorites like HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and Fox’s “Empire”.

The 54-year-old actor is hosting his fourth Golden Globe Awards on Monday despite harbouring a large amount of contempt for most of Hollywood.

Jamie Foxx and Lily James announced the victor of the best original score, but Foxx took matters into his own hands when he said it was Straight Outta Compton before admitting it was a mistake and James declared Ennio Morricone the victor for The Hateful Eight, with the award collected by the film’s director Quentin Tarantino.

The actress remained in her seat looking dumbfounded after she was named best supporting actress in a film for her portrayal of Joanna Hoffman in Steve Jobs.
