74 YEARS, MEET LA LA LAND - THE 2016 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD WINNERS

On the night that La La Land broke records and won in a clean sweep, becoming the most-awarded film in the 74-history of the Golden Globes, on the night that Elle won Best Actress for the legendary Isabelle Huppert, on the night that Moonlight went empty-handed until taking the big prize, on the night that I lost way too much sleep for this shit...

GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATIONS: LA LA LAND LEADS WITH SEVEN NODS

This year's Golden Globe nominations were a mighty mixed bag beyond the obvious. That's a running theme of the early part of the race this season, with La La Land, Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight dominating, and the remaining contenders slugging it out for whatever they can claim elsewhere. Hacksaw Ridge keeps on building up support, and Florence Foster Jenkins fares well too; other films such as Arrival and Nocturnal Animals sneak in here and there, but this is a curiously inconsistent slate from the HFPA. Awards announced live on TV on the 8th of January.

THE REVENANT AND THE MARTIAN WIN BEST PICTURE FROM THE GOLDEN GLOBES

A night that began with some strange surprise choices by the HFPA, including wins for Steve Jobs in Supporting Actress and Screenplay, though otherwise largely contained within the TV categories, the Golden Globes concluded in somewhat more expected fashion when the top awards came around... that is aside for the considerable support for The Revenant, which, alongside its healthy box office take this weekend, ought to mark that film out as the Oscar contender we all refused to see coming by now! Wins for Picture, Director and Actor certainly shocked Oscar watchers, though to what extent this success will be contained within just the Globes' awards is yet to be seen. Isn't this just the most bizarre awards season you've ever seen? Nominations from last month can be viewed here, and the winners below:

2015 GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED - CAROL LEADS WITH FIVE

Today's Golden Globe nominations cleared the picture up a little for the current awards season. They seem to clarify what, of the disparate strands of advocacy we've observed so far from both critics awards and the Screen Actors Guild nominations yesterday, is likeliest to stick. Spotlight looks to be the only contender to win the Best Picture Oscar, being the only one among the favourites with either a SAG Ensemble nod or a Globe Screenplay nod (it has both!). Mad Max: Fury Road is, indeed, a contender for the top awards, even if the bulk of its mentions will undoubtedly come from the tech categories (the Globes don't rly bother with those). Carol remains popular, but its Screenplay snub is worrying. And the late-breakers, The Hateful Eight, Joy and The Revenant will probably see their stock start to rise as more voters get the chance to see them and more buzz gets the chance to build. But only The Revenant seems to stand much of a shot at scoring a Best Picture Oscar nomination. The Golden Globes will take place on the 10th of January, broadcast live in the US on NBC at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.
