Boston star Maura Tierney won for supporting actress, TV, for Showtime’s “The
Affair”.
The first award victor of the night, Jobs actress Kate Winslet began her acceptance speech for best supporting actress in a motion picture by thanking her fellow nominees.
“The Revenant” beat out “Carol”, a lesbian romance story, and “Spotlight“. In the Best Foreign Movie category, Hungarian Holocaust drama Son of Saul was the victor.
“The Martian” will also likely be nominated for multiple Academy Awards (also known as Oscars).
The 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards took place Sunday, and while plenty of Oscar-nominated actors and films won Golden Globes, many predicted Oscar winners went home with nothing.
“I don’t think it would be accurate to call “The Revenant” a Best Picture frontrunner, since there’s no overlap between the Globes and Oscar voting bases”, Vanity Fair digital director Michael Hogan said.
For the film categories, the Todd Haynes-directed Carol leads the pack with five nominations, including two Best Actress nods for stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, Best Director for Haynes, Best Original Score for Carter Burwell and a chance to walk away with Best Picture at the awards.
It adds: “After a delightful and genuinely amusing, but still often edgy, run with Amy [Schumer] and Tina [Fey]… why did the Globes revert back to Gervais and his stale, antagonistic shtick?”
The Golden Globes were handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at a glitzy Beverly Hills dinner packed with A-list celebrities.
Hosting the glittering gala considered Hollywood’s biggest party of the year was British comedian Ricky Gervais, who dished out his trademark raunchy humor, targeting Caitlyn Jenner, Mel Gibson and Jennifer Lawrence, among many others. The snubs offered to Fargo and Kirsten Dunst in the Best Limited Series and Best Actress – Limited Series categories, respectively, were the other disappointments of the night.

The mood in the room was much better when 69-year-old Sylvester Stallone received a standing ovation as best supporting film actor for reprising his iconic role as boxer Rocky Balboa in “Creed”. Not many singers have been able to cross over and win major acting awards. Mr Robot, about a computer programmer and vigilante hacker, took home the prize for Best Drama Series.
