The Revenant and The Martian came out on top at the 2016 Golden Globe Awards, with plenty of wild surprises and naughty bleepin’ moments to gossip about around the water cooler this week. Check out the full list of movie winners, along with some highlights, below.
The Golden Globe Moments Everyone Is Talking About
1. Yo Rocky!
Sylvester Stallone wins Best Supporting Actor 40 years after he lost the Golden Globe for playing the same character, Rocky Baloboa. How great is that?
2. Meet Your Oscar Locks
Leonardo DiCaprio and Brie Larson win Best Actor (Drama) and Best Actress (Drama), respectively, solidifying their very strong frontrunner status for the Oscar. Really, who’s beatin’ them?
3. Bestie Snubs
Biggest snub? Maybe it’s Amy Schumer losing to bestie Jennifer Lawrence, who won her third Golden Globe for Joy. (Yeah I’ll say it — Schumer was ROBBED!)
Be that as it may, when the duo took the stage to tout their movies (Joy and Trainwreck), they instantly became our choice to host the show next year.
4. The Nice Surprise
Give it up for Kate Winslet for stealing that Best Supporting Actress trophy for Steve Jobs. What a great, overlooked performance for a film that deserves more awards praise than it’s been getting. Nice to also see Aaron Sorkin walk away with the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay, too.
5. The Award That Made History
When Son of Saul won Best Foreign Language Movie, it became the first film from Hungary to ever win a Golden Globe.
6. Whatever Is Going On Between Leonardo DiCaprio and Lady Gaga right here.
Was Leo laughing at Gaga winning the Globe? Did she pick up on it? And that eyebrow raise!
7. The Oscar Frontrunner
Gotta go with The Revenant after its wins tonight. The film not only took home Best Picture (Drama), but Leonardo DiCaprio won Best Actor (Drama) and Alejandro González Iñárritu took home Best Director. So is Spotlight now out of the…well, spotlight?
8. The Golden Globes Are Still the Naughtier Alternative to the Oscars
There was so much bleepin’ going on tonight, we kinda want to see the unrated version of this year’s Golden Globes right about now

From a boozy Ricky Gervais (in full roast form) to an awkward exchange between Mel Gibson and Gervais to the TV folks being called out numerous times for being rowdy in the back, this was most definitely a room we’d want to hang out in for awhile. The show was fun and lively — and, yeah, the jokes were dark at times — but kudos to the Globes for forever keeping this show entertaining.
But seriously, you gotta get J-Law and A-Shoo to host next year. That petition starts here!

Some critics are calling last night’s football game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers a new low in sportsmanship. Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports explains what went wrong.
Transcript
MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
In other football action, last night, the NFL witnessed one of the greatest collapses in playoff history. We’re talking about the Cincinnati Bengals, a team with a long history of woe, but last night may be a new low. They had all but sealed up a win against their rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just one minute, 36 seconds left in the game, and they had the ball. They could not lose, but they did in spectacular fashion. And not only that – critics are calling the whole thing a new low in a sportsmanship. Tracy Wolfson of CBS Sports was on the sidelines for that game, and she’s on the line now. Hi, Tracy. Thanks for joining us.
TRACY WOLFSON: You got it. How are you?
MARTIN: Good. And do you want to take it from there?
WOLFSON: (Laughter) Yeah. You know what? It was pretty insane. I’ve got to be honest. I mean, we knew that there would be some sort of physicality and a lot of emotions brewing with a rivalry like this. But, you know, to be honest, I didn’t expect it to get to that level. The fumble by Jeremy Hill, then the personal fouls, then the helmet-to-helmet hit from Vontaze Burfict and – you know, like you said, next thing you know, that’s it. You know, they handed over to the Steelers.
MARTIN: Talk about that hit, please. That’s the thing that a lot of people are talking about today. And certainly, the commentators after the game were talking about where Burfict launched himself into the head of Pittsburgh receiver Antonio Brown. I mean, what was that like to be there when that happened? I know people at home were gasping.
WOLFSON: Yeah, you know, it – there were so much chaos going on at that time to begin with, and, yes, it was a gasp. You see the hit. And especially when you see a hit to the head like that of that magnitude, it comes from a guy like Vontaze Burfict, where you know he makes those vicious hits to begin with. He has knocked out several players. And not saying that they were not legal hits in the past, but he has been fined for hits in the past. You know, and that’s where you have to draw the line – I mean, those helmet-to-helmet hits. But it is a scary, scary situation down there when that takes place.
MARTIN: You know, speaking of that, during the pregame warm-ups, the referees basically formed a wall at the 50-yard line…
WOLFSON: Yeah.
MARTIN: …To prevent the teams on either side from starting fights with each other. And then a few weeks ago, New York Giants fans watched as their star receiver Odell Beckham lost his mind, committed one penalty after another against Carolina Panthers’ defensive back Josh Norman. Look, is there something going on here with people being unable to control their behavior on the field? Is something going – is there something in the atmosphere now that we need to be thinking about?
WOLFSON: I don’t know if it’s something in the atmosphere. I mean, sports in general bring out those kind of emotions. It’s about controlling the emotions. It’s about having the right people on the field to control their emotions if that person or player cannot handle their emotions themselves. I thought what the officials did yesterday by creating that no-fly zone – I thought was very smart. I actually thought that the officials did a good job for the situation that they were put in. But I will say that I think I believe there should be a rule more so like in college where – you know, two personal fouls, and you’re out. Or – you know, that’s where the officials maybe need to step in more. Or a coach should step in and say, this is going to hurt our team. It was very obvious, and I reported it during the game that Vontaze Burfict was out of control. And it was just going to escalate. You could see it in his eyes, and you could see it standing down there. And every one of his teammates could see it and so could the officials. And still he was allowed to continue to play throughout and thus, in the end, basically loses the game for his team.
MARTIN: Tracy Wolfson reports for CBS Sports. Tracy, thanks so much for speaking with us.

NPR’s Rachel Martin spoke with Brad Duke a few years ago about his $220 million lottery win in 2005. We called him back this week because numbers for the biggest Powerball jackpot were drawn Saturday.
Transcript
RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:
Imagine it. You’re going about your life, and then – bam – you win the jackpot. Yesterday’s Powerball drawing reached almost $950 million. Now, of course, taxes can eat up about half of that. But come on, that’s still a whole lot of money. This record lottery made me think back to a conversation I had a couple years ago with Brad Duke. He won a $220 million Powerball jackpot in 2005. Brad Duke is a former exercise instructor from Star, Idaho. And in our conversation, he remembered that moment when he won.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED BROADCAST)
BRAD DUKE: I had the ticket in a visor of a rental car at the time, and I had to stop and get fuel. I thought it would be a good time to check the tickets. So, I took the ticket in, let the gals behind the counter run the ticket through. And the machine made a bunch of weird noises, and they started jumping up and down and jumping in circles. And I was trying to actually pluck the ticket out of their hand ’cause my first instinct was just to kind of get out of there.
MARTIN: Here’s what happened next.
DUKE: I thought maybe that I had won 10 or 20 thousand, but I didn’t confirm it. I went on with my day just daydreaming of what I could do with five, 10, 15, 20 thousand, whatever it may be.
MARTIN: So, that’s day one, and it’s confirmed that you win. What happens a couple days later when you wake up and the reality of this really starts to sink in?
DUKE: You know, it didn’t sink in for a couple of days, you know, probably a couple of weeks. I knew the first thing that I wanted to do was decide what I wanted to do with the money and where I wanted to go with this whole thing. So I didn’t tell anybody. I kept working. I continued with my daily routines. I had made one phone call to my father. And I told him – it’s a funny story. I said, dad, sit down and prepare for some life-changing news. And he says, oh, you’re getting married. And I said, nope. And he goes, oh, well, then you’re the guy that won the lottery.
MARTIN: No way.
DUKE: Yeah, true story, absolutely true story. And I said yeah. And he goes, far out. I’ll be right down. So, you know, he came down. And then over the course of that couple of weeks, we kind of talked about what to do. I kept it under wraps for close to four or five weeks.
MARTIN: Wow. Wasn’t that hard? I mean, didn’t you kind of just want to tell everyone?
DUKE: Oh, it was fun. Oh, it was fun. It was fun fantasizing about being the guy and then realizing that you’re the guy. And you have that reality-fantasy combination starting to come together. Turned out, it was really important that I did do that because that did give me time to put together a team of people around me that were going to help me do what I wanted to do.
MARTIN: Yeah. Who were they? What did you need them to do for you?
DUKE: Well, in the process of setting goals, I wanted to grow the wealth, so obviously needed to have a really good tax attorney and a corporate business attorney. I knew that we were going to do some publicity to try and generate more opportunity, so I needed a publicist and a banker. And I still have that same team around me today.
MARTIN: So, you said you had done some daydreaming. You’d let yourself kind of fantasize about what it would be like to win 10,000, $20,000. What did those dreams look like, and then how did they change when all of the sudden you were handed a check for millions of dollars?
DUKE: The thing that I was thinking about was what kind of new bike I can buy. I’m into cycling, and one of my fantasies is just getting a really high-end road bike and a really high-end mountain bike.
MARTIN: Yeah, $220 million would do it.
DUKE: Yeah. And that really was the first thing that I did. I stayed in my house, drove a used car for, you know, up to three years afterwards. The more I started to fantasize about what I could do with the money, the more I felt like I should try and keep my feet on the ground and change as little as I could.
MARTIN: Why did that occur to you?
DUKE: You know, I’m not sure. I’m a goal-oriented person. One of the goals that I had put out there for myself after this was try and make the most of this opportunity and not squander the gift that’s been given to me and try to grow into something I can leave behind, leave a legacy behind. And once I started to believe in that goal that I set for myself, it kind of dictated some of my decisions.
MARTIN: So did you quit your job?
DUKE: I did not. I continued on as long as I could. It was crazy. Everybody had the greatest ideas since sliced bread. I got proposals for time machines, flying cars, and eventually I had to quit ’cause it was disrupting the business. I continued to stay on and teach my morning spin class for about two and a half years after.
MARTIN: Did anyone in your life start treating you differently?
DUKE: Oh sure, yeah. Yeah, there’s definitely a preconceived notion, whether it’s good or bad, and that does change your surroundings. And, you know, for sure, it – something like that amplifies everything around you.
MARTIN: Did you have to end any relationships because of how your life changed with this money?
DUKE: You know, I’m pretty fortunate that way. I never had to end a relationship. I had some dating trouble, but that was expected. But (laughter) as far as…
MARTIN: You’d think it would be a boon for your dating life.
DUKE: Yeah, too much of a boon. But as far as loved ones and people that were in my life at the time, I have been pretty fortunate.
MARTIN: There has been, as you probably know, some terribly tragic stories over the years of lottery winners who kind of detached from reality and lose their friends, go bankrupt. How did you avoid all of that, and what is your advice for future lottery winners?
DUKE: I knew the statistics. I knew 6 out of 10 people that won 10 million or less were bankrupt in less than five years. And that’s one thing that I really wanted to not become. The biggest piece of advice I can give somebody that gets put into that, you really have to define what’s important to you, and develop a plan around it. And then get people to help you do what you’re not so good at doing as part of that plan.
MARTIN: Do you still have that mountain bike that you bought?
DUKE: Yeah. I have that mountain bike plus about another 10.
MARTIN: (Laughter) Good for you.
That’s Brad Duke of Star, Idaho. He won $220 million in the Powerball lottery back in 2005. So we checked back in with him this past week, when the Powerball reached nearly a billion dollars. He’s now in a long-term relationship. He still loves cycling and still travels economy class. He’s kept his circle of friends and the team of advisers he hired after winning. And he’s building up the nonprofit he created to donate money to charitable groups in Idaho. Now, about that ridiculously huge Powerball lottery jackpot. Americans gathered around their televisions last night to watch the official drawing.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Next number down is 19. That’s followed by 57. And we’re going to wind it up for you tonight with the number 34.
MARTIN: Hours after the drawing, the lottery officials announced there was no winner. And you know what that means. The pot gets richer. There will be another drawing Wednesday, and the prize is now $1.3 billion, which is a ridiculous amount of money. But the odds are crazy low. Reuters quoted a statistics professor at the University of Buffalo who said an American is roughly 25 times more likely to become the next president of the United States than to win at Powerball. But hey, a girl can dream.

Lottery winner Brad Duke says he’s always been fascinated by the lottery, and even thought he won once before, when he was 18. Davies Moore/hide caption

Each week, Weekend Edition Sunday host Rachel Martin brings listeners an unexpected side of the news by talking with someone personally affected by the stories making headlines.
In 2005, Brad Duke of Star, Idaho, hit a huge jackpot: $220 million in the Powerball lottery. It took a couple days, even a couple of weeks, for the magnitude of his win to hit. He didn’t tell anyone, and went about his daily routines while he tried to figure out what he wanted to do next.
As a regular lottery player, Duke had let himself fantasize about what it might be like to win thousands of dollars someday. As a cyclist, he’d always daydreamed about owning a high-end road bike and a high-end mountain bike, which his actual windfall would certainly cover.
But Duke didn’t go on a spending spree. “I stayed in my house, I drove a used car for up to three years afterwards,” he tells NPR’s Rachel Martin. “The more I started to fantasize about what I could do with the money, the more I felt like I should try to keep my feet on the ground and change as little as I could.”
BRAD DUKE: I had the ticket in a visor of a rental car at the time, and I had to stop and get fuel. I thought it would be a good time to check the tickets. So, I took the ticket in, let the gals behind the counter run the ticket through. And she made a bunch of weird noises and they started jumping up and down and jumping in circles, and I was trying to actually pluck the ticket out of their hand ’cause my first instinct was just to kind of get out of there.
RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:
This is Brad Duke, an exercise instructor from Star, Idaho. Duke won a $220 million Powerball jackpot in 2005. And as you might expect, life changed. Winning the lottery forced him to reevaluate his priorities, his expectations, even some relationships. We began by talking about the day he went out and bought that particular lottery ticket. Brad Duke is our Sunday Conversation.
DUKE: I thought maybe that I had won 10 or 20 thousand, but I didn’t confirm it. I went on with my day just daydreaming of what I could do with five, 10, 15, 20 thousand, whatever it may be.
MARTIN: So, that’s day one and it’s confirmed that you win. What happens a couple of days later when you wake up and the reality of this really starts to sink in?

Eva Salina’s new album is called Lema Lema: Eva Salina Sings Saban Bajramovic. Deborah Feingold/Courtesy of the artisthide caption

Eva Salina has Dutch and Jewish roots and hails from a quiet California beach town — but musically, she’s traveled a path far afield from her upbringing. The Santa Cruz native says she was headed in quite a different direction when she stumbled into a love for traditional Balkan vocal music.
“I was interested, always, in other cultures, and someone gave me a tape of some Yiddish songs,” she says. “I was 7 years old, and I taught myself all of those songs. My parents, in their desire to encourage my interest, looked around for someone who might be able to teach me, and when the search for a Yiddish singing teacher came up dry, they stumbled upon a young woman who grew up in Hawaii and had been singing Balkan music for 15 years at that point.”
Salina grew up into a modern interpreter of Balkan styles. Her new album, Lema Lema: Eva Salina Sings Saban Bajramovic, pays tribute to a late musician whose story is shrouded in mystery and urban legend. She joined NPR’s Rachel Martin to talk about it; hear more of their conversation at the audio link.
