Two Musical Comedy Series Win Big at 2016 Golden Globes, But Not Many Broadway Alums

While The Revenant and The Martian took home the top prizes at the 73rd annual Golden Globe Awards, two musical comedy series also received major recognition at the January 10 ceremony.

Mozart in the Jungle won Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. The Amazon series stars Gael García Bernal—who won for his performance—and Tony winner Bernadette Peters. Rachel Bloom received the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Series for her CW musical comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

Only two Broadway alums won this year for performances—both on the small screen. Maura Tierney won Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for The Affair (Tony nominee Ruth Wilson won last year for the Showtime drama), and Mr. Robot’s Christian Slater took home the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for TV. Writer for stage and screen Aaron Sorkin won Best Screenplay for Steve Jobs.

Denzel Washington, who won a Tony Award in 2010 for Fences and will bring that August Wilson play and nine others to HBO over ten years, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his “outstanding contributions” to the entertainment industry.

Among the big winners of the night were Leonardo DiCaprio for The Revenant, Brie Larson for Room, Jennifer Lawrence for Joy, Matt Damon for The Martian, Taraji P. Henson for Empire and Jon Hamm for Mad Men.
