2016 Film Award Season Kicks Off With
The Golden Globe Awards
Sunday 10th January saw the start of award season for movie stars. The Golden Globes include a greater number of awards than the Oscars, therefore there are more opportunities for actors/actresses to win. Despite having more award categories within the ceremony, the Globes are still a very good way to judge how the Oscars may go.
With the film 'The Revenant ' picking up three of the nights top awards (Best Motion Picture - Drama, Best Actor In A Motion Picture - Drama, and Best Director - Motion Picture) it is safe to say that when the Oscar nominations are revealed in two days time, this film will be among them. Which leaves the question could this finally be Leo's year?
Leonardo DiCaprio picked up the Golden Globe for Best Actor In A Motion Picture - Drama over the weekend, beating nominees Bryan Cranston, Michael Fassbender, Will Smith and last years award winner Eddie Redmayne. Leonardo has now won three Golden Globes for his work in the films: The Revenant (2016), The Wolf Of Wall Street (2014), and The Aviator (2005). Despite winning Globes, Leo has never managed to get his hands on an Oscar, he's been nominated four times between 1994-2014, three of those times as a leading actor, and once as a supporting actor. Many critics believe that this year Leo will be standing at the 2016 ceremony receiving his first Oscar, due to his tremendous performance in The Revenant, a film that is yet to be released, not arriving in cinemas until Thursday 14th January. He will have tough competition though, with last years Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory Of Everything) expecting to receive another Oscar nod this year for his performance in the film 'The Danish Girl'. I believe that both these men will be going head to head to win this years Best Performance By An Actor In A Leading Role Oscar, and this could well be Leo's year.
Elsewhere at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards the film 'The Martian' was bizarrely nominated within the Musical Or Comedy categories, this film does have a few comedic moments, but I would not class this film as a comedy. It is a film of heightened drama, with an Astronaut being assumed dead and left stranded alone on Mars, NASA work on a rescue mission to bring him home. 'The Martian' picked up two big awards: Best Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy, and Best Actor In A Motion Picture - Musical Or Comedy (Matt Damon).
On the female side of this years ceremony, actress Jennifer Lawrence picked up her third ever Golden Globe (Best Actress In A Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy), for her performance in the film 'Joy'. Making it possible that she could be heading for her forth Oscar nomination, and possibly her second Oscar win. If she were to pick up the award this year, it would make her the youngest actress ever to receive two Best Leading Actress Oscars, currently held by Luise Rainer who won two awards by the age of 28 for: The Great Ziegfeld (1936) and The Good Earth (1937). Lawrence currently holds the achievement of youngest performer to receive two Best Actress nominations (Winters Bone (2010), and Silver Linings Playbook (2012)). Jennifer Lawrence will have a lot of competition for the award, with the Leading Actress category being overflowed with talent this year, with a possible nomination for 2016 Golden Globe winner (Best Actress In A Motion Picture - Drama) Brie Larson for her performance in the film 'Room', as well as a possible nomination for two time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, for her incredible performance in the film ' Carol'.
Kate Winslet beat the likes of Alicia Vikander, Jennifer Jason Lee, Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda to win this years Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actress. Winslet added to her impressive award collection by winning her forth ever Golden Globe, for her performance in the Biography 'Steve Jobs'. Kate Winslet has not received an Oscar nomination since her 2009 win for Actress In A Leading Role, for her performance in 'The Reader', this year could see Kate's Oscar comeback, as there is a definite chance she will be getting a nomination, and a possible win.
The Oscar nominations are announced this Thursday morning. The Globes have been an indicator to who may get the nod, as well as who could possibly walk away with the most esteemed award in the movie business.
