Old TV favorites swept aside at Golden Globes as hackers, musicians rule

Hackers and musicians ruled at the Golden Globes on Sunday as old television favorites were cast aside for a slew of new shows and rising actors. Amazon Studio’s streaming show “Mozart in the Jungle,” about the backstage lives of New York classical musicians, went home with the best TV comedy series and a best actor award for its star Gael Garcia Bernal. On the drama side, the USA cable network series “Mr. Robot,” about a bunch of hackers and anarchists, emerged the surprise winner, defeating Emmy-winning HBO medieval fantasy “Game of Thrones.” “Mr. Robot” also brought a supporting actor prize for Christian Slater as Globe organizers, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, continued their tradition of recognizing new programming.
