“THE Revenant” triumphed at this year’s Golden Globes yesterday, winning the night’s most coveted prize for best dramatic film.
Leading man Leonardo DiCaprio won best actor in a drama, while Alejandro G. Inarritu won for its direction.
Ridley Scott hit “The Martian” was named best comedy or musical film, winning a further Globe for star Matt Damon.
“Room” star Brie Larson was named best actress in a drama, while Jennifer Lawrence won best comedy actress.
British winners included Kate Winslet, picking up the best supporting actress award for her role in “Steve Jobs,” as the Apple guru’s assistant; singer Sam Smith, for his Bond track “Writing’s On The Wall,” and the BBC’s adaptation of “Wolf Hall” was named best mini-series.
But hopefuls Eddie Redmayne, Dame Helen Mirren, Dame Maggie Smith and Idris Elba missed out.
Mark Rylance, who — like Elba — was nominated in both the TV and film categories, was tipped to win the best supporting actor Globe for his role in “Bridge of Spies,” but lost out to Sylvester Stallone for his comeback performance as Rocky Balboa in “Creed.”
“I was here in 1977 and I was hit by tumbleweed - and the view is so beautiful now,” said Stallone, who received a standing ovation.
“Steve Jobs” picked up the award for Aaron Sorkin’s screenplay — making the biopic the only other multiple film winner of the night.
There were no awards for Todd Haynes’s critically acclaimed love story “Carol,” nor for the much admired “Spotlight.”
There was also nothing for George Miller or his “Mad Max” reboot “Fury Road,” nor did “The Big Short” or “The Danish Girl” made good on any of their nominations.
As widely predicted, Pixar’s “Inside Out” won best animated film and veteran Italian composer Ennio Morricone won his third Golden Globe for Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight.”
Amazon was the big overall winner in the television categories, with two wins apiece for the streaming services’ original dramas, “Mr Robot” and “Mozart in the Jungle.” (SD-Agencies)
