Leonardo DiCaprio Wins Golden Globe
Kate Winslet was named by the jury as the best supporting actress.
“I think that it was awesome that he acknowledged First Nations people, not within just Canada but across the world”, said Marlowe, who lives in Siksika Nation, and is originally from Lutsel K’e in the Northwest Territories. “It is time that we recognize your history and that we protect your indigenous lands from corporate interests and people that are out there to exploit them”.
Amazon scored four nominations and won two awards – best television series, musical or comedy; and best performance by an actor in a television series, musical or comedy – for “Mozart in the Jungle” and its star Gael Garcia Bernal. From Caitlyn Jenner to gender equality to the integrity of the Golden Globes themselves, no person or topic was too taboo to tackle.
For some reason, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association chose to let Ricky Gervais host the Golden Globes again – and when he said his jokes wouldn’t be offensive, they believed him. That said, it is fairly safe to assume that if Larson wins the SAG Award as well, the odds will shift in her favor.
To recap the 2016 Golden Globe Awards, The Revenant claimed the most awards.
The hottest moment of the night was when Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling introduced their film The Big Short as one of the nominees for best picture-comedy. The movie earned awards in the Best Actor, Best Picture and Best Director categories. The Oscars love a good story, and Stallone, who enjoyed a standing ovation by the crowd at the Golden Globes show (many of whom vote on the Academy Awards), may have the momentum to steal the award from under Dano’s nose.
All eyes in Hollywood are now on the Oscar nominations, to be announced on Thursday, to see if the “Titanic” star scores his fifth nomination for an acting role as widely expected.
The Martian, the tale of an astronaut stranded alone on Mars, won two top prizes – Best Comedy Film and Best Actor in a Comedy for Matt Damon.
Tom Hanks also presented Denzel Washington the Cecil B. Demille award. When Ridley Scott, the director of The Martian, got up onstage to receive the award, he wondered out loud: “comedy?” before shrugging it off with a skeptical wave of the hand.
In the television awards, Jon Hamm was the only repeat victor, picking up the best actor in a TV drama for his role as Don Draper in Mad Men.
