“Once Upon a Time...” – an homage to 1960s Tinseltown – won the most awards on the night with three prizes, while Martin Scorsese’s much-vaunted Netflix crime saga “The Irishman” went home empty-handed.
“Goodness me, that is a big surprise,” said stunned filmmaker Sam Mendes, who bested Scorsese and Tarantino in the crowded best director category. “Once Upon a Time...” clearly resonated with the 90-odd members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association , which doles out the prizes, but other films made their mark.
He also thanked director Todd Phillips, saying: “You convinced me to do this movie and you encouraged me to give everything and to be sincere. And I’m such a pain in the ass.” “Let’s go out with a bang, let’s have a laugh at your expense, shall we?” joked Gervais, hosting the awards for the fifth and final time, before tearing into the industry with a no-holds-barred monologue.
Elton John’s “I’m Gonna Love Me Again” won best original song for “Rocketman,” a musical biopic about the legendary British musician’s life, and Taron Egerton won best musical/comedy actor for his starring role.
