Revenant Wins Top Prizes at Golden Globes

Gervais, yet again, was accused of making offensive jokes when he hit the awards show stage for the fourth time as host, and tweeted in defense of his quips about Caitlyn Jenner. The Revenant, Steve Jobs and The Big Short, had four nominations each.

One person that did react pretty well to one of Ricky’s jokes however, was Jennifer Lawrence when he said: “Jennifer Lawrence made the news when she demanded equal pay for women and she received overwhelming support from people everywhere”. I waited 20 years for this. Larson is a Golden Globes virgin.

Brie Larson (Room) won the best actress, drama (Room), over Cate Blanchett (Carol), Rooney Mara (Carol), Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn) and Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl).

With British comedian Ricky Gervias’ penchant for crude jokes, his introduction of Mel Gibson was sure to be awkward for all – and he didn’t disappoint.

She finished off her speech by thanking the rest of her cast and crew and specifically Terrence Howard, her on-screen ex-husband, Lucious Lyon.

Will this Golden Globe finally turn into a Best Actor Oscar for the star? At this point, signs seem to suggest Winslet might win her second Oscar. Not to say Stallone doesn’t give a fine performance in “Creed”, which he does, but the timing worked out perfectly. The crowd greeted his win with a standing ovation.

“It is time we recognize your history and that we protect your indigenous lands from corporate interests and people that are out there to exploit them”, DiCaprio said in his acceptance speech.

Revenge drama “The Revenant” won top prizes at the Golden Globes on Sunday.

Hungary’s “Son of Saul” was awarded best foreign film while “The Hateful Eight” took the Globe for best score by Ennio Morricone and the best song Globe went to Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes for “Writing’s on the Wall”, from “Spectre”, the latest James Bond movie.

The Best Performance in a Miniseries or Television Film -Actor and Actress categories were presented to first-time Golden Globe winners, Oscar Isaac and Lady Gaga. Instead, the Globes had a particularly unraveled atmosphere that included Jonah Hill dressed as the bear from “The Revenant”, copious discussion of “Transparent” star Jeffrey Tambor’s male anatomy by Gervais, and much buzzing about Sean Penn’s escapade with Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
