Just as Craig spoke about a few days ago, the movie Awards Season is officially upon us. And as usual, the Big Three got kicked off last night with the 73rd annual Golden Globes Awards (the other two being the BAFTAs and Oscars, of course). The event was held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverley Hills, California and saw British funnyman Ricky Gervais returning to hosting duties for a fourth time where he was unsurprisingly his usual dry-witted, unapologetic self.

But really, we’re not here for just Gervais jokes (well, most of us at least). We’re here to see which movies, TV series, actors and actresses the Hollywood Foreign Press Association chose to honour with some gold statues this year. And much like Gervais’ performance, there were only a few surprises this year. And for once, that’s a really good thing.

Well, not a good thing if you’re the two main surprised parties, Mad Max: Fury Road and Carol, which both went home empty handed. Mad Max fans – and I include myself here – should still take solace in the fact that come Thursday, it is sure to be noted in the Oscar nominations and is at least a huge favourite to take the major technical awards. Carol fans however, can feel pretty heartbroken as the film got five noms – including both leads Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara in the same category – and didn’t come through on any of them.

Lady Gaga also shocked a few audience members – and no it wasn’t because of a meat based fashion choice this time. The song diva turned occasional actress actually won the award for Best Actress in a TV Limited Series for American Horror Story: Hotel. Beating out acting heavyweights like Kirsten Dunst and Felicity Huffman, the six time Grammy winner called this “one of the greatest moments of my life.”

The other major surprise though is Sam Smith’s Spectre theme song “Writing’s On the Wall” taking Best Original Song – Motion Picture. Not only was the latest Bond theme song completely poo-pooed by fans and critics alike almost universally (although personally I actually kind of liked it, even though it wasn’t the best Bond song), but it was up against the brilliant and emotionally charged “See You Again” from Furious 7, which I was 100% convinced would take it. I guess my prediction skills need some work.

But enough about the surprises, as just as predicted, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s brutal survivalist masterpiece The Revenant picked up Best Picture – Drama as well as Best Director. Most importantly, Leonardo DiCaprio also took Best Actor – Drama. Whoo hoo! Now I know that’s not quite the ever-elusive DiCaprio Oscar, but it is a good portent for things to come. Meanwhile, if you didn’t think it after walking out of the cinema, you can definitely be convinced now that Ridley Scott is back to form, as his brilliantly entertaining The Martian scooped up Best Picture – Comedy or Musical as well as a Best Actor – Comedy or Musical statue for Matt Damon.

And in a award that just makes you want to run up a flight of steps and fist pump in triumph, Sylvester Stallone picked up the Best Supporting Actor gold for Creed, and he is fully deserving of it thanks to a heartbreaking performance. And speaking of deserving wins, breakout TV series of the year in 2015, Mr Robot, also grabbed Best Television Series – Drama and Best Supporting Actor in a TV Limited Series for Christian Slater. Unfortunately lead Rami Malek, who I was sure was a shoe-in, lost out the Best Actor statue to veteran Jon Hamm for Mad Men. See? There are those faulty prediction skills again.
