The Golden Globes doesn’t have quite the prestige as the Academy Awards, but with a laidback atmosphere—and an open bar—they just seem like a lot more fun. They certainly were for Madonna, who picked up a Best Original Song win for “Masterpiece.” Relish it, Madge—it’s probably the only award W.E. will get. (We kid!)
Here’s the full rundown of winners:
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama
Glenn Close – Albert Nobbs

What do you mean you kid? That is the only award she’s going to win.
CJustSickening
You spiteful, mean spirited, loose booty assholes trying it with Madonna for absolutely NO reason.
(shaking my motherfucking head).
I hope she spits on all you if she ever gets the chance but you don’t even deserve THAT!
Cinesnatch
@CJustSickening: So what are you going to do when that ends up being the only award she wins for W.E.?
jason
Madonna used homophobic put-downs when referring to Ricky Gervais as a girl. She’s a true bitch. Don’t buy anything from her. Poor woman must be experiencing menopause.
Mike UK
please, please, please keep ricky gervais over there, he’s about as funny as dog shit on the pavement!
christopher di spirito
I didn’t know Madonna was British?
I thought Old Girl was from Michigan? Grand Rapids, to be precise? Maybe Grand Rapids, UK? Grand Rapids just north of London and west of Liverpool?
Mike UK
@christopher di spirito: she gain a pseudo English accent after living over here for a fortnight, well she was Lady Of the Manor you know! by the way west of Liverpool is the Irish Sea!
christopher di spirito
@Mike UK: Where she belongs. In the Irish Sea.
Red Meat
Did anyone else feel like they gave her that award to remind her to stick to singing? lmao. When I heard all the nominees as they showed them, hers was the most pop-ish and awful yet she won.
Anyways, her boobs were squished in that dress and she was British again.
LOL at Streep acting surprised for being the best actress since the beginning of time.
George Overrated Clooney wins again for playing his generic self.
Game of Thrones was robbed
Biggest surprise – Hugo wins best director.
Mike UK
@jason: get a grip! she was just taking the piss!
Bryan
@Cinesnatch: I was gonna say this. It IS very possible that this award might be the only thing W.E. wins, it’s not like critics have been raving over it.
Anyways, congrats to all the winners especially my fave, Meryl. And Angelina Jolie, please eat some burgers, you used to have a fuller figure and was sexy.
Jorge
Enough of that hag Madonna.
She has not an ounce of talent.
Kate Bush is the only gay icon that matters.
She’s pure class…something that people like Gaga and Hagdonna will never have.
Sean
Madonna hating trolls on Queerty are either the old Liza loving queens or GaGa’s psychotic little monsters. Madge has always been an advocate for gay rights so even if you don’t like her music STFU and be greatful we’ve had a powerful ally since the 80’s
DenverBarbie
Wow, Meryl Streep over Rooney Mara?
Talk about sucking up, Golden Globes!
Bee
@Sean: Maybe you should read the comments well before making sweeping generalizations? Idiotic fanboy
