Partial list of winners for the Golden Globe Awards
“Mozart in the Jungle”, Amazon’s television series about a classical musician’s off-stage misadventures, won two Golden Globes on Sunday, while cult hacker thriller “Mr. Robot” triumphed as best drama on the small screen.
Transparent, a series about a family with a transgender parent, won in the same category a year ago.
It has trumped the hit TV series Game of Thrones and Lee Daniels’ Empire.
Original Song: “Writing’s on the Wall” (music and lyrics by Sam Smith, Jimmy Napes), ‘Spectre’.
Best actress in a limited series honors went to Lady Gaga in American Horror Story.
For television, at least, HFPA seems to give awards out at random, often awarding shows simply because they’re new or “different”.
At the Amazon party, Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal celebrated his win for Best Actor in a TV Series – Comedy or Musical for “Mozart in the Jungle”.
The show’s lead actor, Gael Garcia Bernal, received a nomination for Best Actor in a Television Series.
Foreign Language: ‘Son of Saul’. Ennio Morricone was given the Best Original Score award for The Hateful Eight.
As award-winning shows and their stars including political satire “Veep”, ground-breaking transgender series “Transparent” and quirky black comedy “Fargo” sat on the sidelines, only Jon Hamm, star of advertising drama “Mad Men”, was a repeat victor.
Oscar Isaac (“Show Me a Hero”) walked away with the best actor in a limited-series or TV movie trophy.
Miniseries / TV Movie – “Wolf Hall”.
Comedian Ricky Gervais, who has provoked controversy with his comments while hosting past ceremonies, was back on form right from the outset.
Instead, it was Amazon that was tonight’s victor among streamers.
Mozart in the Jungle is in it’s second season and this is it’s first Golden Globe since it started in 2014. Hill earned the first bleep of the night, a bit about honey getting an extended censor bleep and apparently disapproving look from Jane Fonda.
Supporting Actress, Motion Picture: Kate Winslet, “Steve Jobs”.
She was up against some stiff competition in Dame Helen Mirren in Trumbo and Jane Fonda in Youth. The network sitcom-once a staple of award shows-was nowhere to be seen.
