In upset, ‘The Revenant’ top drama film
Alejandro Inarritu’s bloody frontier thriller “The Revenant” landed an upset win at the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards, taking best film, best director and best actor for Leonardo DiCaprio.
A year after Inarritu’s “Birdman” took top honors at the Academy Awards, his follow-up swept three of the top awards at the Globes on Sunday.
Inarritu added best director, besting the favored Ridley Scott, director of the science-fiction survival tale “The Martian.” That film, however, won best film comedy and best actor in a comedy for Matt Damon.
Sylvester Stallone scored a knockout 29 years after the first “Rocky,” Jennifer Lawrence notched her third Golden Globe and Matt Damon landed both best actor for his stranded astronaut in “The Martian” and withering jabs from host Ricky Gervais at the Beverly Hills, California, ceremony.

do DiCaprio won for best actor in a film drama.
Nominated for the same character that earned him his only other Golden Globe nod, Stallone took best supporting actor for the “Rocky” sequel-reboot “Creed.” The crowd greeted him with a standing ovation.

Balboa for being the best friend I ever had,” said Stallone.
Though security was especially tight to guard against terrorism, the Gervais-led Globes, evidenced little of seriousness that marks most award shows, or the teary-eyed acceptances speeches. Instead, the Globes had a particularly unraveled atmo-
sphere that included Jonah Hill dressed as the bear from “The Revenant” and copious discussion of “Transparent” star Jeffrey Tambor’s male anatomy by Gervais.
Gervais greeted the crowd (which he labeled “pill-popping sexual deviant scum”) with a predictably astringent opening, setting the tone for a much-bleeped night that was at turns irreverent and frivolous.
Best actress went to Brie Larson, the breakout star of the captive mother-son drama “Room.” A gleeful Larson concluded: “I’m sorry for anyone I forgot. I’ll write you a thank-you card.”
Lawrence, who spent much of the night with her new friend and collaborator Amy Schumer (herself a nominee for “Trainwreck”), scored her third Globe for a David O. Russell-directed film. After winning for “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle,” she made it three for “Joy.”
Though “Steve Jobs” failed to win over many critics or moviegoers, Danny Boyle’s drama about the Apple co-founder earned best screenplay for Aaron Sorkin and best supporting actress for Kate Winslet. Winning her fourth Globe in 11 nominations, Winslet triumphed over the lauded Alicia Vikander for “Ex Machina,” though Vikander is also contending for best actress in “The Danish Girl.”
