2016 Golden Globe Awards Winners: Full List

2016 Golden Globes winners
By Angie Han

The Golden Globes may not have the prestige of the Oscars, but you can always count on it to bring nearly as much glitz and glamour. The stars came out tonight in full force to celebrate some of the best films of the year, including some — like Trainwreck or Spy — that might otherwise be overlooked at the more serious-minded Oscars.

This year's ceremony is hosted by Ricky Gervais, who previously emceed for three consecutive years from 2009 to 2011. His very presence promises some naughty, off-color jokes, while the strong list of contenders suggests we're in for some major ups and downs. So buckle up, strap in, and click through to join us as we live-blog our way through the 2016 Golden Globes winners. 

8:00: That full glass of beer says Ricky Gervais is ready.

8:01: ... And there's the requisite Sean Penn El Chapo joke.

8:02: ... And there's the requisite Caitlyn Jenner joke.

Best Performance By an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

Jane Fonda, Youth

Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Hateful Eight

Helen Mirren, Trumbo

Alicia Vikander, Ex Machina

* Kate Winslet, Steve JobsThoughts: Steve Jobs hasn't been getting a ton of buzz in the awards race, so this is a nice early win for them. Then again, Kate Winslet wasn't really up against anyone who felt like a shoo-in.Best Performance By an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television

Uzo Aduba, Orange Is the New Black

Joanne Froggatt, Downton Abbey

Regina King, American Crime

Judith Light, Transparent

* Maura Tierney, The AffairBest Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical* Rachel Bloom, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Jamie Lee Curtis, Scream Queens

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep

Gina Rodriguez, Jane the Virgin

Lily Tomlin, Grace and Frankie

Thoughts: Gina Rodriguez won this prize last year, so it seems appropriate that Rachel Bloom — Rodriguez's successor to the "breakout star of a critically acclaimed but criminally underseen freshman CW series" mantle — should take it this year.Best Television Series – Comedy or MusicalCasual* Mozart in the JungleOrange Is the New BlackSilicon ValleyTransparentVeepThoughts: Mozart in the Jungle may not be the obvious pick here, but the HFPA does love shiny new things.Best Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for TelevisionAmerican CrimeAmerican Horror StoryFargoFlesh and Bone* Wolf Hall

Idris Elba, Luther

Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama* Jon Hamm, Mad Men

Rami Malek, Mr. Robot

Wagner Moura, Narcos

Bob Odenkirk, Better Call Saul

Liev Schreiber, Ray Donovan

Thoughts: Jon Hamm's win for Mad Men is well deserved. He did call Don Draper a "horrible person," a few months after Daniel Craig said similar things about James Bond. Is disowning one's signature character the hot new trend?

Best Performance By an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical

Christian Bale, The Big Short

Steve Carell, The Big Short

* Matt Damon, The Martian

Al Pacino, Danny Collins

Mark Ruffalo, Infinitely Polar Bear

Thoughts: The Martian's miscategorization as a comedy still bugs, but Matt Damon truly did stellar work. It's tough to argue he doesn't deserve it.Best Animated Feature FilmAnomalisaThe Good Dinosaur* Inside OutThe Peanuts MovieShaun the Sheep Movie

Best Performance By an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

Paul Dano, Love & Mercy

Idris Elba, Beasts of No Nation

Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies

Michael Shannon, 99 Homes

* Sylvester Stallone, CreedThoughts: Maybe even better than watching Sylvester Stallone win for Creed, is watching how happy everyone else in the room looks to see Sylvester Stallone win for Creed. He literally got a standing ovation.

9:22: Didn't even notice in the moment, but...

Winners make these oversights all the time in the madness of the moment, but it still seems bizarre that Stallone would forget to recognize two of the men who made his win possible.

9:27: Scandal averted: word is Stallone went back to correct his mistake.

Best Screenplay – Motion Picture

Emma Donoghue, Room

Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer, Spotlight

Charles Randolph and Adam McKay, The Big Short

* Aaron Sorkin, Steve Jobs

Quentin Tarantino, The Hateful Eight

Best Performance By an Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy

Aziz Ansari, Master of None

* Gael García Bernal, Mozart in the Jungle

Rob Lowe, The Grinder

Patrick Stewart, Blunt Talk

Thoughts: Gael García Bernal gets the statue, but Aziz Ansari wins the ceremony.

9:54: ... And there's the Bill Cosby joke. Who has bingo?

Best Television Series – DramaEmpireGame of Thrones* Mr. RobotNarcosOutlander

Cecil B. DeMille Award: Denzel WashingtonBest Director – Motion Picture

Todd Haynes, Carol

* Alejandro González Iñárritu, The Revenant

Tom McCarthy, Spotlight

George Miller, Mad Max: Fury Road

Ridley Scott, The Martian

Thoughts: The Revenant's awards season strategy of emphasizing the film's super-difficult shoot is paying off. The Revenant is a beautiful movie, but for my money it's the least deserving one in this category. (YMMV, obviously.)Best Performance By an Actress in a Television Series – Drama

Viola Davis, How to Get Away With Murder

Caitrona Balfe, Outlander

Eva Green, Penny Dreadful

* Taraji P. Henson, Empire

Robin Wright, House of Cards

Best Performance By an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical* Jennifer Lawrence, Joy

Melissa McCarthy, Spy

Amy Schumer, Traiwreck

Maggie Smith, Lady in the Van

Lily Tomlin, Grandma

Thoughts: Jennifer Lawrence did genuinely excellent work in a less-than-stellar movie. But again, it feels wrong to see Joy categorized as a comedy, while more straightforward examples of the genre get shoved aside.Best Motion Picture – Comedy or MusicalThe Big ShortJoy* The MartianSpyTrainwreckThoughts: Apparently not even Ridley Scott believes The Martian is a comedy. That said, it's an excellent movie, arguably the best in its category. There's nothing we can do about the fact that the HFPA have decided this movie is a comedy, so let's just be glad a good film took home the prize.Best Performance By an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama

Cate Blanchett, Carol

* Brie Larson, Room

Rooney Mara, Carol

Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn

Alicia Vikander, The Danish Girl

Thoughts: This is one of those categories where almost any outcome would feel like a snub to the others. Brie Larson undoubtedly deserves high praise for Room, and it's hard to begrudge her the win — but it also stings that Cate Blanchett and Saoirse Ronan are going home emptyhanded.Best Performance By an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama

Bryan Cranston, Trumbo

* Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant

Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs

Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl

Will Smith, Concussion

Thoughts: Leo's been campaigning hard this season. We've still got a long ways to go before the Oscars, but this is a good start for him.Best Motion Picture – DramaCarolMad Max: Fury Road* The RevenantRoomSpotlightThoughts: After wins for Best Director and Best Actor, The Revenant's win for Best Picture comes as no surprise.
