In upset, ‘The Revenant’ wins best film at Golden Globes

According to Deadline, Gervais has been asked to return for the 74th annual Golden Globe Awards in 2017. The 73rd Goldern Globe awards ceremony was hosted by Ricky Gervais for the fourth time. The safe bet still feels like Ridley Scott (“The Martian”), but Iñárritu and “Spotlight” director Thomas McCarthy remain poised to swoop in.

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.

But a win is a win, and although this awards season is far from predetermined, neither “The Martian” nor “The Revenant” were considered real frontrunners, especially against nominees like “Spotlight, ” ‘Carol, ” ‘Mad Max: Fury Road, ” and “The Big Short.”.

BBC drama Wolf Hall was named best limited series or TV movie and producer Colin Callender was joined by stars Damian Lewis and Mark Rylance as he accepted the award and made a plea to protect BBC funding. Some also view it as predictors of the even more prestigious Oscars event, which takes place in February. Expect their publicity and momentum to kick into full swing, especially once we hear them during Thursday’s Oscar nominations.

The ceremony included the presenting of an award by actor Mel Gibson, who during a widely publicized DUI arrest in 2006 made anti-Semitic slurs to the arresting officer.

“We’re at the Golden Globes“, Lawrence replied coolly.

Backstage, the actress appeared not awkward at all about beating out her friend Amy Schumer. “She has such an incredible mind”, she said. Because she’s – you know – she’s amusing and hilarious and will win many things.

For best actress in a drama, Brie Larson won the Globe for best actress in a drama for “Room”, about a mother and her child held captive in a small room. 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.

Winslet won for best supporting actress in a film for her role in the biopic Steve Jobs, and Stallone won for best supporting actor in Creed, in which he reprised his iconic role of boxer Rocky Balboa.

Trying to win the crowd round, Ricky mentioned that he’s “changed”.

Leonardo DiCaprio did more than just survive a bear mauling in “The Revenant”.

Best foreign language film went to Hungary’s Laszlo Nemes’ “Son of Saul”, a harrowing view of life inside Auschwitz, and best animated film went to Pixar’s acclaimed “Inside Out”. Universal Cable Productions’ Mr. Robot was Best Television Series in the Drama category.

“I share the award with all the indigenous communities around the world”, DiCaprio said in his acceptance speech.

For his efforts over the years, Denzel Washington clinched the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement prize. “So who cares?” Iñárritu, who had earlier been nominated for “Babel” and “Birdman”, said about the extreme weather conditions during the shooting of “The Revenant”.
