‘The Revenant’ dominates at the Golden Globes, winning best drama, best
Singer turned actress Lady Gaga won an award at the Globes too, however, the “Poker Face” singer was nominated for her role in “American Horror Story: Hotel“, under the category “Best Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television”. The film was a part of the 2015 edition of the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) line-up.
The five films are the only Globe best picture nominees in either category to also appear on the Producers Guild of America’s list of 10 best picture nominees announced this past week.
DiCaprio took home his third Golden Globes in his eleventh nomination, brushing aside competition in the best actor category from Bryan Cranston (Trumbo), Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs), Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl) and Will Smith (Concussion). “The Martian” won “Best Comedy Film” and “Best Actor in Comedy” for Damon.
The Revenant’s success will hurt the Oscar hopes of Miller, who was nominated for directing and best picture Globes for his box office hit Mad Max: Fury Road.
Awards race dark horse Steve Jobs also got some love on Sunday with wins for Kate Winslet, for best supporting actress, and Aaron Sorkin, for the screenplay.
“Son of Saul”, a Hungarian movie set during World War II, was cited as the best motion picture in a foreign language title. “Thank you very much”, DiCaprio said.
Other key winners included Sylvester Stallone, 69, who received a standing ovation as best supporting film actor for reprising his iconic role as boxer Rocky Balboa in “Creed”.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is known for eccentric picks with its Golden Globe Awards, but Sunday’s batch of winners still managed to surprise many industry types.
Last night, Hollywood gathered around together, got drunk, and gave each other Golden Globes Awards.
Pioneer-era tale “The Revenant” won three awards including best drama film, beating out front-runners “Carol”, a lesbian romance, and investigative journalism drama “Spotlight”.
The wins for “Mozart”, along with those for “Mr. Robot” (for both best drama series and for Christian Slater for best supporting actor), were in line with the Globes’ history of honoring first-year shows. Matt Damon was presented the Best Performance in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy – Actor award, for his performance as Mark Watney, an astronaut who fights to return home after being stranded on Mars.
