(Wall Street Journal) The 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards brought some focus to an unpredictable awards season Sunday night as films including “The Revenant” and “The Martian” were honored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
“The Revenant,” a raw tale of the American frontier, racked up a trio of top awards, including best motion picture drama, beating out leading contenders such as “Spotlight” and “Mad Max: Fury Road.” The film also earned a best-actor win for Leonardo DiCaprio. And Alejandro González Iñárritu won best director for a punishing production that reportedly pushed cast and crew to their limits.
Twentieth Century Fox’s strategy of putting “The Martian” into competition as a comedy paid off with a best-picture win in that category. Matt Damon, whose character delivered one-liners in a virtual monologue from outer space, won best actor in a film comedy.
“Joy” star Jennifer Lawrence collected her third Golden Globe—and her third for a film directed by David O. Russell—for best actress in a film comedy or musical.
Brie Larson won the best actress award for her role as a mother held captive with her young son in the drama “Room.”
Sylvester Stallone, who reprised his role as Rocky Balboa in the movie “Creed,” earned a standing ovation from the celebrity crowd and a trophy for best supporting actor, nearly 40 years after his Golden Globe nomination for “Rocky.”
Closing his acceptance speech, Mr. Stallone said, “I want to thank my imaginary friend, Rocky Balboa, for being the best friend I ever had.”
The HFPA built advance buzz and courted controversy by bringing back three-time host Ricky Gervais. Armed with a glass of beer, he lobbed verbal bombs into the audience, resulting in many bleeped words and visible cringes in the audience.
In the television categories, wins by Amazon and USA Network highlighted the rapid changes in that industry in recent years.

USA emerged from basic cable’s B-list, having rebranded its programming with grittier serial dramas. The network’s stylish hacker thriller “Mr. Robot” won best TV series drama. And film veteran Christian Slater won best supporting actor award for his turn in that show as the ringleader of a group of computer saboteurs.
The category for best TV series, musical or comedy, has become a proving ground for online shows. Amazon’s “Mozart in the Jungle,” set in the world of classical music, beat out competitors from Hulu and Netflix and took the trophy a year after “Transparent” earned Amazon its first Golden Globes.
“Mozart in the Jungle” also seized the baton in the race for best actor in a TV comedy, as Gael García Bernal beat out fellow nominee (and last year’s winner) “Transparent” star Jeffrey Tambor.
Broadcast networks weren’t entirely left out. Actress Taraji P. Henson won her first Golden Globe for her lead role in the Fox hit “Empire.”
The afterglow continued for “Mad Men,” which finished its seven-season run last spring, as Jon Hamm won for best performance in a TV drama.
Other TV winners included Lady Gaga for best actress in a limited series of movie (FX’s “American Horror Story: Hotel”) and Maura Tierney for best supporting actress in a TV series (Showtime’s “The Affair”).
Voters in the HFPA lived up to their reputation for seizing on new talent. Rachel Bloom, the creator and star “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” an offbeat musical on the CW, won best actress in a TV comedy. It was a repeat win for the CW after “Jane the Virgin” star Gina Rodriguez, another newcomer, won last year.
In her breathless acceptance speech Ms. Bloom summed up the odds against “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” describing an unorthodox show that barely got made. She said, “We sent the pilot to every other network in Hollywood and got six rejections in one day.”
Aaron Sorkin won best screenplay for “ Steve Jobs,” which also earned Kate Winslet the award for best supporting actress.
Disney Pixar’s “Inside Out” won best animated film to cap its run as one of the most critically praised movies of the year.
