‘The Revenant’
The Golden Globes aren’t so much a bellwether for the Oscars as they are a kind of checklist that tells us what we maybe should put on our radar. (Nominating for the Oscars ends Monday, and the nominees will be announced Thursday morning.) And there ceremony is often a trainwreck of bad pacing, stale jokes (host Ricky Gervais touched on Caitlyn Jenner and gender pay inequality, but also resurrected old saws about Schindler’s List and Roman Polanski — jokes from the millennium work too, Ricky). And the way the voters in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association cozy up to nominees means there are often unusual (though not necessary wrong) choices … but best comedy to The Martian?! The unexpected win for Lady Gaga, star of American Horror Story: Hotel, seemed to be a genuine surprise, even though the competition wasn’t insignificant; the same was true of Sly Stallone’s sentimental victory for Creed.
