“The Revenant” Wins Big at Golden Globe 2016
The veteran actor is still Oscar-less after winning the Golden Globe for best actor for his role in the The Revenant, and several publications are predicting this is the role that’ll finally earn him an Oscar as well.
“I have made a lot of movies that people just didn’t go see”, Damon said, adding he was glad that people liked “The Martian”, whose boxoffice collections reached almost $600 million. Shes amusing and hilarious and will win many things..
The victories for the two films at the Globes put them in prime position as Hollywood’s annual awards season heats up, leading to the all-important Oscars on February 28.
Matt Damon won best Actor for his role in space adventure “The Martian” which also won the Best Comedy or Musical category.
The event which held in the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton hotel returned Ricky Gervais as host waxed heavily on humour. Thank you to the HFPA, and to the other fantastic performances in this category. Best comedy TV series went to Amazon’s “Mozart in the Jungle”, which won over the HBO heavyweight “Veep”.
Taraji P. Henson, a victor for best actress in a television drama.
Actress, Musical or Comedy: Rachel Bloom, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”.
In her acceptance speech, Gaga said, “I feel like Cher in that John Patrick Shanley film Moonstruck right now. But music worked out first”.
In fact, there has never been any rhyme or reason to the nominations or winners of this awards show, which has inexplicably become one of the biggest trophies in Hollywood. Ennio Morricone was given the Best Original Score award for The Hateful Eight. Foxx then blamed the card, which Harvey did when he flubbed the Miss Universe 2015 announcement of the victor.
Other highlights include Aziz Ansari seemingly reading a book Losing to Jeffrey Tambor with Dignity during the announcement of nominees for best actor-comedy.
“Steve Jobs”, a controversial look at the late Apple co-founder that floundered at the box office despite warm reviews, took home Golden Globes for supporting actress Kate Winslet, and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin.
Tom Hanks also presented Denzel Washington the Cecil B. Demille award.
Sylvester Stallone knocked out some heavyweight competition, too, in the supporting actor category with a win for Creed, beating out Idris Elba (Beasts of No Nation), Michael Shannon (99 Homes), Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies), and Paul Dano (Love & Mercy). Awards favorite Spotlight didn’t win anything.
