"Selma"

John Legend and Common accepted the award for “Glory,” under “Best Original Song.” The expected winner for the category was Lorde for “The Hunger Games” (Yellow Flicker Beat). 

"The Affair" 

The Showtime series won for “Best TV Series, Drama.” The show is new and juicy (due to the ongoing affairs), but how far can the show really go? The expected winner was “Game of Thrones” or “House of Cards.” Kevin Spacey did win an award, for “Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama.”

Ruth Wilson

The rather new series hit it off at the Golden Globes. Actress Ruth Wilson won “Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama.” Her competition was thought to be another Showtime series actress, Claire Danes in “Homeland.” 

Juliane Moore

Though the films in the category “Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama” had depressing aspects to the plot, the expected winner was Rosamund Pike in “Gone Girl.” Instead, Julianne Moore took home the Golden Globe for her performance in “Still Alice.”
