Studios pissed at Fox's GG wins (Revenant, Martian, Joy)
Thanks to the dominance of Fox's titles The Revenant, The Martian and Joy at the ceremony, a number of other high-profile contenders were completely shut out, including The Weinstein Co.'s Carol (which came in with more Golden Globes noms than any other film), Open Road's Spotlight (which was widely regarded as the Oscar frontrunner coming into the night), Warner Bros.' Mad Max: Fury Road (which still could land more Oscar noms than any other film) and Paramount's The Big Short (which some thought was posed to become the new Oscar frontrunner if it did well at the Globes). As a result, high-level execs and consultants associated with some of those films were extremely unhappy as they left the ballroom and headed to the after-parties. One loudly vented, "If you feel we're desperate put me on the phone 'cause I will not allow this!"
