The Golden Globes have their winners

0

The Hollywood Foreign Press is a strange group that really shouldn’t have the second biggest award show around, but through marketing and a willingness to get famous people drunk they do. And so we once again bring you the winners for the Golden Globes. Ricky Gervais once again roasted a lot of celebrities and drank and some people won awards.

Probably the most confusing moment of the night was when The Martian won for best comedy/musical. Even director Ridley Scott made a crack about it. Kind of defeats the purpose of the category if non-comedies can come in and win it, but there you have it. The Revenant picked up best picture and best director and best actor. It’s awesome so that makes sense, but part of me really wanted to see Mad Max: Fury Road pull off an upset. Oh well, there’s still the Oscars. Meanwhile, Mr. Robot won for best show because it is the best show. 

Emotional punch for the night came from Stallone winning for best supporting for Creed. Far better than Denzel Washington’s rambling speech after winning the lifetime achievement thing. 

In things that shouldn’t have won: Sorkin got the Globe for best screenplay for Steve Jobs, which didn’t deserve it over the plethora of fantastic competitors. Also, screw the Globes for giving Writing on the Wall,” possibly the worst Bond song ever, the Globe over the absolutley stellar “See You Again” from Furious 7. That was clearly them being snobbish about the movie “See You Again” was attached to.
