The Brutalist, Emilia Pérez and Shōgun won big at the 82nd Golden Globes, the unofficial kick-off to this year’s awards season, APA reports citing The Guardian.
The low-budget epic The Brutalist, a drama telling the story of a Holocaust survivor turned immigrant architect in the US, won three awards: best film in the drama category, best actor for Adrien Brody and best director for the actor-turned-film-maker Brady Corbet. At the end of his speech, Corbet paid tribute to the film-maker Jeff Baena, who died this week.
Brody, who previously lost out on a Globe for The Pianist before winning the Oscar, called the film “a story about the human capacity for creation”. He said he had thought this would not be a “moment afforded” to him again before saying he hoped the film would inspire those who are immigrants.
The Netflix crime musical Emilia Pérez, the most nominated film of the night, took home four awards, for best film – musical or comedy, female supporting actor for Zoe Saldaña, original song, and film not in the English language. In his first acceptance speech of the night, Audiard said: “I don’t have sisters so maybe this is why I made a film about sisterhood. If there were more sisters in the world, it might be a better place.”
Saldaña beat out her co-star Selena Gomez and Wicked’s Ariana Grande for her win.
There was also a surprise in the female actor in a drama category, with the Brazilian star Fernanda Torres winning out against Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie and Kate Winslet for her performance in the fact-based 70s drama I’m Still Here. She dedicated the award to her mother, the actor Fernanda Montenegro, who was nominated at the Globes 25 years ago for her role in Central Station.
Nominated films that came away empty-handed included Anora, Dune: Part Two and A Complete Unknown while television shows that were unrewarded included Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building, Disclaimer and Mr and Mrs Smith.
Last year’s ceremony was dominated by wins for Oppenheimer and Succession. This year’s Oscar nominations will be announced on 17 January.
