2016 GOLDEN GLOBES Award Winners list and what this might mean for The Oscars

goldenglobes2016header

Usually we post the nominees for The Golden Globes, along with our picks to win, though this past year we slacked off a bit. Last night, the (arguably) most fun of the Hollywood award shows took place hosted once again Ricky Gervais, and we’ve compiled a list of winners below. Alejandro González Iñárritu’s brilliant THE REVENANT won big taking home Best Picture Drama, Best Actor Drama and Best Director Drama, though if you’ve seen it this shouldn’t come as that much of a surprise. Don’t be shocked if we see a repeat of that come Oscar time. Brie Larson won Best Actress Drama and Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actor Musical or Comedy, and you can absolutely expect these two to be competing for the Best Actress Academy Award. Perhaps the oddest of the bunch from last night was THE MARTIAN winning Best Actor Musical or Comedy and Best Picture Musical or Comedy… since the movie is neither a musical or a comedy. This is the result of the studio that released the film putting it in a category with less difficult competition. This happens a lot with the Golden Globes, though these wins really stand out as peculiar given the film is so far from the category it appeared in. Even director Ridley Scott started his acceptance speech saying “Comedy?!” Safe to say everyone thinks that’s funniest part of that movie is it ending up in that specific category. STEVE JOBS won Best Screenplay for Aaron Sorkin and Best Supporting Actress for Kate Winslet – we predict Winslet will get the Oscar as well. While the Globes isn’t always a safe bet toward who will win at the Academy Awards, it’s usually a good indicator of who has the more likely chances, and this year’s event really felt like what many in the business are expecting to see come Oscar time. Did you see the show? Do you agree with the winning choices? Let us know in the comments.
