The 15 Biggest Golden Globes Snubs and Surprises
18 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The Golden Globes are known for their unpredictability, and this year’s awards were among the Golden Globe-iest in that regard. While many of the top film champs, including major victories for “The Revenant,” “The Martian,” breakout ingenue Brie Larson and comeback kid Sylvester Stallone, can hardly be dubbed surprises, the TV picks were considerably more left field. And there were a couple of stunners in the movie races too.
Here are 15 of the biggest snubs and surprises from the 2016 Golden Globes:
Snub: “Carol”
Though it had the most nominations of any film, Todd Haynes’ quiet period lesbian romance failed to win any awards against flashier competition like “The Revenant.” With two lead actress nominations, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara may have split the votes.
Surprise: Kate Winslet and Aaron Sorkin, “Steve Jobs”
The surprises started early when Kate Winslet nabbed the night’s first film award for supporting actress in Universal’s underperforming biopic. »

20 hours ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Lady Gaga can now add Golden Globe winner to her resume.
The worldwide superstar took away the statue for best actress in a limited-series or TV movie for her role as The Countess in “American Horror Story: Hotel.”
She was up against Kirsten Dunst (“Fargo”), Sarah Hay (“Flesh & Bone”), Felicity Huffman (“American Crime”) and Queen Latifah (“Bessie”).
“I feel like Cher in that John Patrick Shanley movie ‘Moonstruck,’ Gaga said on stage during her acceptance speech. “This is one of the greatest moments of my life.”
Appearing to be genuinely surprised and taken aback, the musical phenomenon thanked each and every one of her cast members, plus “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy and her family.
Through tears, Gaga revealed,” I wanted to be an actress before I wanted to be a singer — but music worked out first.”
Backstage, Gaga told press about her “Ahs” character for which she earned her award. »

There had been some thought that concussions, domestic violence or allegations of cheating would slow down the NFL ratings machine this season, but nothing could be further from the truth.
On the heels of a regular season that saw three of the network’s four television partners post ratings gains vs. the previous year, the first round of the league’s postseason action saw meaningful growth vs. 2015. In Nielsen’s overnight ratings representing 56 of the nation’s largest markets, this weekend’s quartet of wild-card games averaged a 20.4 household rating — up 11% from last year’s 18.3.
The top-rated game of the weekend was the 4:40 p.m. Et kickoff on Sunday between the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins on Fox (pictured), which averaged a 23.6 overnight rating, the highest for any program since last year’s Super Bowl. This was the only matchup of the weekend, though, to rate lower than last year, »
