The 73rd Annual Golden Globes kick off awards season tonight as we enter one of the most heated campaigns of all time. We will be live blogging the event tonight when it kicks off on NBC at 5:00 p.m. PST and will be keeping you up to date with all of the 2016 Golden Globe Award winners as they are announced. With so many great contenders from 2015 – Carol, Spotlight, Mad Max: Fury Road, Room, etc. – it could be anyone’s game on the road to the Oscars, so expect the unexpected.

Hosted by Ricky Gervais, tonight’s Golden Globe winners should gauge the conversational temperature of who’s leading the awards trail before the Oscar nominees are announced on January 14. Though the Hollywood Foreign Press Association holds little weight as to who the Academy will choose, the Golden Globes seem to be more in line with the Critics’ Choice Award nominees than the SAG Award nominees, which is quite unusual.

We look forward to you tuning in with us!

And here we go

Ricky Gervais spent no time getting into some of the year’s hottest topics, especially the timely news about Sean Penn and El Chapo. Gervais also pokes fun at NBC for having no noms in any categories despite hosting the Golden Globes. Caitlyn Jenner and Jeffrey Tambor got dragged into some digs on the transgender conversation. Of course, paying for a Golden Globe award was brought up again, which made it extra funny when the camera panned to Harvey Weinstein. With Gervais being an outloud Atheist, Spotlight helped add fuel to his fire. And finally, Jennifer Lawrence’s campaign for equal pay paved way for a handful of jokes.

2016 GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD WINNERS:

Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill the Revenant Bear are the first two presenters of the evening.

Best Performance By an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

• Jane Fonda – Youth
• Jennifer Jason Leigh – The Hateful Eight
• Helen Mirren – Trumbo
• Alicia Vikander – Ex Machina
• Kate Winslet – Steve Jobs (WINNER)
  

Out of all of the women in this category, I believe Winslet put in the best work thanks to Sorkin’s heavy script.

Jennifer Lopez and Dwayne Johnson are the next presenters.

Best Performance By an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television

• Uzo Aduba – Orange Is the New Black
• Joanne Froggatt – Downton Abbey
• Regina King – American Crime
• Judith Light – Transparent
• Maura Tierney – The Affair (WINNER)
  

Maura delivered a wonderfully humble speech despite her nerves getting the best of her.

Andy Samberg is the next presenter who almost gives a better monologue than Gervais.

Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical

• Rachel Bloom – Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (WINNER)
  
• Jamie Lee Curtis – Scream Queens
• Julia Louis-Dreyfus – Veep
• Gina Rodriguez – Jane the Virgin
• Lily Tomlin – Grace and Frankie

Rachel had some really incredible energy giving her speech. I haven’t seen Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but from the clips I’ve seen and from all I’ve heard about it, I believe she deserves it.

Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard are the next presenters.

Best Television Series – Comedy or Musical

• Casual
• Mozart in the Jungle (WINNER)
  
• Orange Is the New Black
• Silicon Valley
• Transparent
• Veep

I’m shocked Transparent didn’t win, but I’m more glad that Veep didn’t win. But seriously, what the hell is Mozart in the Jungle?

Viola Davis is the first star to introduce the first film in the Best Motion Picture – Drama, Carol.

Lorenzo Soria, president of the HFPA, came out to make a speech.

Matt Damon is the next presenter right after Gervais pokes fun at Ben Affleck about being faithful. The Martian is the first film to be introduced for Best Motion Picture – Comedy.

Orlando Bloom and Bryce Dallas Howard present the next award.

Best Television Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television

• American Crime
• American Horror Story
• Fargo
• Flesh and Bone

The sad part about awards season is that it makes me feel very behind on television series. Can we all just slow down for a moment. I really need to see Mr. Robot.

Jamie Foxx and Lily James are the next presenters to arrive on stage. Foxx pulls a great jab at Steve Harvey and his recent flub on Miss Universe pageant. And I’m pretty sure we can all agree would all benefit from more Lily James in our lives.

• Idris Elba – Beasts of No Nation
• Mark Rylance – Bridge of Spies

I’m really happy Sylvester Stallone wone, but Idris Elba and Paul Dano had the best performances out of all of these actors in this category.

• Mustang (France)
• Son of Saul (Hungary) (WINNER)
  

Helen Mirren says this is the first time Hungary has won a Golden Globe. Nice.

Kevin Hart and Ken Jeong, who need the mic to be lowered, are the next presenters of the night. The best mic drop of the night.

• Kirsten Dunst – Fargo
  
• Lady Gaga – American Horror Story: Hotel (WINNER)
• Sarah Hay – Flesh and Bone
• Felicity Huffman – American Crime
• Queen Latifah – Bessie

Kind of dumbfounded by this due to all the terrible things I’ve heard about this season of AHS. But her heartfelt speech was really inspiring and graceful. Leonardo DiCaprio might not have felt that way though.

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are the next award presenters.

Best Television Series – Drama

Just remember, the Golden Globes really mean nothing. Although, I have to agree that this past season of Game of Thrones wasn’t the best we’ve seen from the series.

Tom Hanks puts on his best Denzel Washington impersonation to congratulate the actor in being honored for the Cecil B. Demille award.

Two-time Golden Globe winner Jim Carrey is the next presenter to hit the stage.

Even Ridley Scott is confused why he’s winning an award for a comedy category for The Martian.
