Aaron Sorkin won a Golden Globe tonight for his “Steve Jobs” screenplay, a detailed, true-ish portrait of the adored but private Apple founder. Directed by Danny Boyle, “Steve Jobs” took some heat from those who knew Jobs for its less-than-flattering portrayal of him, and it largely flopped at the box office.
