The Golden Globes are nothing if not unpredictable, and tonight's awards were no exception. While the major film awards were unlikely to upset any brackets — "The Revenant" took home top honors for drama and a statue for director Alejandro G. Iñárritu and star Leonardo DiCaprio, who will turn this win into a front-running spot in the upcoming Oscars race, while "The Martian" garnered wins for best motion picture comedy or musical and for star Matt Damon, and perennial favorites Kate Winslet and Jennifer Lawrence also went home winners — TV was another story. Summertime breakout hit "Mr. Robot" took home best TV drama series and a win for supporting actor Christian Slater, while Lady Gaga beat out a heavy-hitting slate of veterans, including Kirsten Dunst, Queen Latifah and Felicity Huffman — to nab the limited series best actress award for her turn as a vampire in Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story: Hotel."

And out of nowhere, Amazon's charming classical music comedy "Mozart in the Jungle" pulled the rug out from under darlings "Veep," fellow Amazon show "Transparent" and "Orange Is the New Black" to score big for best TV comedy series, along with a win for star Gael Garcia Bernal. Taraji P. Henson gave one of the most fun acceptance speeches of the evening for her best actress in a TV drama win, playing Cookie Lyon on "Empire," ("Cookies for everyone tonight!") and Jon Hamm closed the book on Don Draper with a final victory for "Mad Men."
