2016 Golden Globe Awards Live Blog: Complete List of Winners
It's the first big awards show of 2016, the 73rd Annual Golden
Globe Awards. Once again hosted by Ricky Gervais (who is sure to
insult anyone and everyone), the Hollywood Foreign Press
Association will hand out awards in 25 categories for both film and
television.
For film, it could be a preview of what's to come at the
Oscars (last year, all four acting Oscar winners also won at the
Golden Globes). For television, the HFPA always loves honoring
cool, new shows, which is why there are so many unusual first-time
nominees like
Outlander,
Mr. Robot and
Mozart in the Jungle.
I'll update throughout the evening with my thoughts on the
jokes, speeches and, of course, the winners.
Ricky Gervais : The host opens with his standard
monologue insulting the stars. He starts with jokes about Sean Penn
and the fact that NBC, the network hosting the awards, received
zero nominations. He pulls no punches, saying Roman Polanski called
Spotlight, about the Catholic church's sexual abuse scandal,
the best date movie of the year. He also has some great jokes about
pay inequity between male and female actors, claiming he's getting
paid the same amount as previous hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey
combined.
Film Supporting Actress: Kate Winslet,
Steve Jobs
This is her fourth win out of 11 nominations. She seems
genuinely surprised and gushes over the other women in her category
and co-star Michael Fassbender. She says she'd happily end her life
having been allowed to read Aaron Sorkin's words, which see,ms a
bit extreme.
TV Supporting Actress: Maura Tierney,
The Affair
Wow, this is odd. Last year
The Affair won for Best Drama and Lead Actress, but this
year Tierney is the show's only nominee. The HFPA is definitely a
weird group.
TV Comedy Lead Actress: Rachel Bloom,
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
The Golden Globes REALLY love the CW. This is the second year
in a row the network won this award, following
Jane the Virgin's Gina Rodriguez. She gushes over CW
president Mark Pedowitz, which could go a long way in helping the
lowest-rated show on network TV get renewed for season 2. She
hilariously talks as fast as she can to get everyone in.
TV Comedy:
Mozart in the Jungle
I'm just gonna assume you've never heard of this show from
Amazon, cuz no one has. But the Globes once again prove that they
LOVE anything new that no one else has given an award to. It's
about the New York symphony.
TV Movie/Limited Series:
Wolf Hall
Of course the fancy British series beats American ones like
Fargo,
American Crime and
American Horror Story. After all, it's the Hollywood FOREIGN
Press Association.
TV Movie/Limited Series Lead Actor: Oscar Isaac,
Show Me a Hero
Kudos to Poe from
Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Clearly he's having a great
month.
TV Supporting Actor: Christian Slater,
Mr. Robot
Hell yeah, finally a winner I can get behind. This USA show
is fantastic and it's great to see Slater finally have a good TV
show after so many failures.
Film Score:
The Hateful Eight
The score is by Ennio Morricone, who gets a ton of
nominations. Director Quentin Tarantino accepts and goes crazy.
TV Drama Lead Actor: Jon Hamm,
Mad Men
He gets a second Golden Globe for the final season. The
upcoming SAG Awards will be his last time being nominated for
playing Don Draper.
Film Comedy Actor: Matt Damon,
The Martian
I know people mock this film competing as a Comedy, but Damon
was pretty funny throughout. Surprisingly, this is actually his
first acting win at any major awards show. Sure, he won for writing
Good Will Hunting, but he's never won for acting..
Film Animated Feature:
Inside Out
This is the 10th year the award has been given out and the
seventh time Pixar has won it. In fact, there's only been one year
where Pixar had a nominated film that didn't win:
Cars 2.
