The 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards were held last night in Beverly Hills, California, and if you missed it then we’ve got you covered!
This year’s award show was hosted by Ricky Gervais for the fourth time in the show’s history. Gervais had promised that his opening monologue would be very offensice, and he kept his promise! The comedian opened the show by making fun of Sean Penn, Caitlyn Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence, and many others. One of his slightly offensive quotes from last night addressed the fact that some people might have stayed away in fear of getting mocked.
“One publication said me hosting would mean some film stars would stay away for fear of being made fun of. As if film stars would stay away from a chance of getting a Golden Globe — particularly if their film company has already paid for it.”
An emotional moment of the night was when Rachel Bloom won the award for Best Actress in a TV Comedy or Musical. The actress won the awards for her role as Rebecca Bunch in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Bloom looked shocked and overwhelmed to receive the prestigious award. She was in tears as she talked about how many rejections they got in the beginning. She also thanked the creators of the show “saw my YouTube videos and two and a half years later I’m standing on this stage with a Golden Globe.”
The Amazon show Mozart in the Jungle brought two awards home last night. The show won the awards for Best TV Comedy or Musical and Gael García Bernal, who plays Rodrigo De Souza, won for Best Actor in a TV Comedy or Musical.
Another actress who looked overwhelmed to win was Kate Winslet. The actress won Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture for her role in Steve Jobs. In her acceptance speech she mentioned what an incredible year it had been for women in films. Winslet said, “these categories are so crowded and crammed with skill and integrity.”
Actresses Jaimie Alexander and Amber Heard presented the award for Best Actor in a Limited TV Series or Movie, and it got slightly awkward! There was lots of silence, then awkward laughter, and in the end Alexander asked, “Dude, who types this shit?”
Sylvester Stallone finally won his very first Golden Globe award after over 40 years in the business. The actor received a standing ovation when he went to receive the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture. The actor thanked one of his most famous roles, Rocky, whom he portrayed again in Creed, in his acceptance speech. Stallone said, “Most of all, I want to thank my imaginary friend Rocky Balboa for being the best friend I’ve ever had.”
Lady Gaga, who is mostly know for her music career, won her first award for her acting abilities. The singer and actress won the award for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television. Gaga won the award for her role at the Countess in American Horror Story: Hotel. She visibly shook as she started her speech by saying that this was “one of the greatest moments in my life.” The superstar also said that she “wanted to be an actress before I wanted to be a singer.”
In the film categories there were some big surprises, especially regarding the dominance of The Revenant, which won Best Film. Alejandro Gonzales Iñárritu took home the award for Best Director, and Leonardo Dicaprio won Best actor. Though universally acclaimed, it was not expected by commentators to take home any of the big awards, and it shows that The Revenant could have a much better chance at the Oscars next month than previously expected.
