Tonight, Ricky Gervais hosted the 73rd Golden Globes. Ennio Morricone, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Brian Wilson, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, and Wiz Khalifa were all up for awards.

Morricone won the Best Original Score Golden Globe for his work on Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight. The award was accepted by Tarantino, as Morricone was not in attendance. 

The award was presented by Jamie Foxx and Lily James. Before announcing Morricone as the winner, Foxx joked that Straight Outta Compton won. 

Smith won the Best Original Song Golden Globe for “Writing’s On the Wall” from Spectre. The award was presented by Katy Perry. 

Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto’s score for The Revenant was also nominated for Best Original Score, as was Carter Burwell’s score for Carol, Alexandre Desplat’s score for The Danish Girl, and Daniel Pemberton’s score for Steve Jobs.

The other nominees for Best Original Song were Wilson for “One Kind of Love” from Love & Mercy, Goulding for “Love Me Like You Do” from Fifty Shades of Grey, Khalifa for “See You Again” for Furious 7, and Sumi Jo for “Simple Song #3″ from Youth.

As the nominations for Best Actor, Comedy were being announced, Aziz Ansari—nominated for his work on “Master of None”—was shown at his table reading a book called Losing to Jeffrey Tambor With Dignity. (Tambor was nominated for his work on “Transparent.”) Amusingly, Gael Garcia Bernal won in the category for “Mozart in the Jungle.”
