Here's the full list of Golden Globe winners for 2016 (2025)

Leonardo DiCaprio’s The Revenant was Sunday night’s big winner at the 73rd annual Golden Globes.

Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu’s survival drama was named best drama by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, with DiCaprio taking home best actor and Iñárritu winning best director. The three awards were the most by any nominated film.

The Revenant was followed close behind by The Martian, which was named best musical or comedy by the Globes; star Matt Damon won best actor in a musical or comedy for his work in the Ridley Scott blockbuster.

Other film winners included Brie Larson (best actress in a drama for Room), Jennifer Lawrence (best actress in a musical or comedy for Joy), Sylvester Stallone (best supporting actor), Kate Winslet (best supporting actress for Steve Jobs), and Aaron Sorkin (best screenplay for Steve Jobs).

Going into the broadcast, Todd Haynes’ Carol and Adam McKay’s The Big Short paced the nominees with, respectively, five and four nominations. Both films went home empty handed on Sunday night.

On the television side, two newcomers to the Globes ceremony took home top honors: Mr. Robot was named best drama series, while Mozart in the Jungle took home best comedy. Other first-time winners included Rachel Bloom (best actress in a comedy for Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) and Lady Gaga.

This year’s Golden Globes ceremony was hosted by Ricky Gervais. The acerbic comic made his fourth appearance as Globes host, and first since the 2012 broadcast, and promptly trashed Hollywood’s best and brightest with a biting monologue (see the video above). He later mocked Mel Gibson and Bill Cosby.
