Jon Hamm won his second Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama for his portrayal of womanising advertising executive Don Draper in Mad Men, whose finale aired past year. This was the second blow for the film as “Spotlight” also performed poorly at the BAFTAs this past weekend, obtaining only three nominations.
Other key winners included Sylvester Stallone who received a standing ovation as best supporting film actor for reprising his iconic role as boxer Rocky Balboa in “Creed”. But he already had his moment when he earlier won the trophy for best director, besting awards season favorite 78-year-old Ridley Scott who directed The Martian. The film’s director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, won best director. “Please welcome the nominated star of The Danish Girl, it’s a dude, Eddie Redmayne!” In the television category, “Mr. Robot” won for best TV drama series.
The first award victor of the night, Jobs actress Kate Winslet began her acceptance speech for best supporting actress in a motion picture by thanking her fellow nominees.
