Winslet leads early Golden Globes winners as Gervais shocks

Guess we’ll never know.

“Pain is temporary, but a film is forever”, Inarritu said.

Veteran Maura Tierney won a supporting actress for her work as the spurned wife in Showtime’s “The Affair”, a role that required a lot of quiet seething.

“Our next presenter is the star of the hilarious comedy The Martian”, Gervais said with a dramatic laugh, pointing out the absurdity of The Martian being nominated in the Golden Globes’s comedy categories.

The first win of the night Sunday was a slight surprise, with Kate Winslet winning best supporting actress for the Aaron Sorkin-penned, box-office dud “Steve Jobs”.

Inside Out won Best Animated Feature Film.

“Mr. Robot” hacked its way to some trophies, too. Its star, Gael Garcia Bernal, also won best actor in a TV comedy.

In some respects Soria’s words were soft, but they offered a fascinating juxtaposition to the older, more serious Academy Awards where political statements and such issue-based spotlight-aiming has, at times, been frowned upon by organisers.

The Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement honoree, often an emotional high point in the awards, also lacked a memorable moment.

Best foreign language film went to Hungary’s Laszlo Nemes’ “Son of Saul”, a harrowing view of life inside Auschwitz.

Taraji P Henson handed cookies to audience members including Gaga, Angela Bassett and DiCaprio as she was named best actress in a TV drama for the role of Cookie Lyon in hip hop saga Empire.

Ennio Morricone won Best Original Score for The Hateful Eight.

Golden Globes voters showed sentiment in giving Jon Hamm a farewell award for leading “Mad Men”, but also fulfilled a traditional role in highlighting lesser-known work on television.

Oscar Isaac, now co-starring as a rebel fighter pilot in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, won best actor in a TV miniseries for his role as a mayor who fought for the desegregation of public housing in HBO’s “Show Me a Hero”.

“We’re live on NBC and it’s right that they host the award show because they are always fair and impartial”, Gervais said. He mocked the whole enterprise, assuring losing actors that “no one cares about awards as much as you do”.

Gervais, with drink in hand, then put his arm around Gibson and said he had one question.

The two BFFs presented at the 2016 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 10, and had the audience laughing.
