“I’ve made a lot of movies that people just didn’t go to see, so to make a movie that people just enjoyed this much … it really came down to (director) Ridley Scott”, Damon said. He reproached the person telling him to wrap up multiple times and read his entire note even when the music on the background played on.

Will this Golden Globe finally turn into a Best Actor Oscar for the star? “I was here 18 years ago…” “I just didn’t know what was passing me – that’s all!” the actor added.

The star also stated that it was a fun night for the father-son duo as his father barely attends such star-studded events. She took home best supporting actress.
In a situation where, really, two best friends were the front-runners for the same award, Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy.

Quentin Tarantino accepted the award for Ennio Morricone’s score for his “The Hateful Eight” – a victor that presenter Jamie Foxx initially read as “Straight Outta Compton” in a parody of the Miss Universe victor debacle.
Fox had the top two films at the Golden Globes.

Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement honoree Denzel Washington also fumbled his way through his speech, which generally serves as a poignant respite in an otherwise irreverent evening.

Despite Gervais’ insistence that the awards carry absolutely no significance in the grand scheme of Hollywood, as he has three of his own, the show featured several exciting wins and uncomfortable encounters. “Not even Sean Penn will find me”, Gervais joked, taking a swig of beer on stage and labeling the actor, “Snitch”.
