And the Golden Globe Winners Are...
I don't know about you, but the Golden Globes are one of my favorite award shows of the whole year. And the 2015 Golden Globes are especially exciting because of the sheer number of truly phenomenal actors and films that are competing for that golden statue — including Benedict Cumberbatch for The Imitation Game and Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything. But even if you're not here for them, and tuned in entirely to see Tina Fey and Amy Poehler host the ceremony for the final time, then I can't honestly say that I blame you. After all, these two hilarious woman are both amazingly entertaining and indisputably old pros at hosting the ceremony. Those shoes will be hard to fill come 2016.
But beyond the nominees and hosts, there's one thing on everyone's mind and one thing only: who won an award at the 2015 Golden Globes? Is Cumberbatch going home with an award? Is Selma getting the recognition it so deeply deserves? Did Orange Is the New Black get a statue at last? The people need to know! Well, for those of you who are as excited as I am, the wait is finally over. On Sunday, January 11, the Golden Globes ceremony was finally underway and we got to find out who went home a winner and who went home a simple "nominee."
Here's your list of who was up for a Golden Globe this year, and who actually went home with the prize.
