Despite controversy over its nomination in the comedy category when the film didn’t have hard-hitting humor, its star Matt Damon also won best actor-comedy.
Director of “The Revenant” Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu was very humbled after winning the “Best Director” award at the Golden Globes.
Kate Winslet won supporting actress for her portrayal of an Apple marketing executive in “Steve Jobs” while Aaron Sorkin collected the Globe for best screenplay for the same movie. Damon said it has been 18 years since he first won a Golden Globes for Good Will Hunting, which he co-wrote with Ben Affleck.

“This is the most hard journey I’ve embarked on”, said Inarritu, who a year ago won directing and best picture Oscars for “Birdman”. Honouring the best in film and TV, the star-studded ceremony will be telecast live from The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

For his efforts over the years, Denzel Washington clinched the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement prize.
