“Emilia Pérez,” “The Brutalist” and “Shōgun” were the big winners at the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday, jump-starting a busy and competitive awards season just five days into the new year.
Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Perez,” the Spanish-language musical from France that’s set in Mexico, won four awards from its Globes-leading 10 nominations, including best musical-comedy film, best song, best international film, and best supporting actress for an emotional Zoe Saldaña.
“The Brutalist,” a three-and-a-half hour epic about an architect in 1950s Pennsylvania, won best drama, best actor for Adrien Brody and best director for former actor Brady Corbet. In a surprise win, Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres took home best actress in a drama for Walter Sallas’ “I’m Still Here” 26 years after her mother Fernanda Montenegro won the same award for Sallas’ “Central Station.” (Montenegro also has a cameo in the film.)
Kieran Culkin scooped up the award for best supporting actor for his performance in “A Real Pain,” taking home his second Golden Globe after a previous win for “Succession.” Among the most emotional acceptance speeches of the night was Demi Moore, who won best actress in a comedy movie for “The Substance” and noted, “This is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor.” Referencing the theme of the film, she concluded by quoting an unnamed woman who told her, “Just know you will never be enough but you can know the value of your worth if you just put down the measuring stick.”
In other categories, “Conclave” won for best screenplay (its sole victory of six nominations), while the trophy for best musical score went to “Challengers” and the lower-budget Latvian film “Flow” walked away with best animated film.
In the television categories, “Shōgun” was the sweeper, repeating its run of recent Emmy victories with trophies for best drama, best actor Hiroyuki Sanada and best actress Anna Sawai — plus best supporting actor Tadanobu Asano.
Other Emmy déjà vus: “Hacks” beat “The Bear” for best comedy and Jean Smart nabbed lead actress in a comedy (her second Globe win in this category). An absent Jeremy Allen White won his third best actor in a comedy for “The Bear” and Jessica Gunning won supporting actress for “Baby Reindeer,” which was named best limited series.
In that category, the champs were spread among three shows. Jodie Foster won her fourth Globe (and her first for a television project) for her leading role in “True Detective: Night Country,” while Colin Farrell scored the lead actor prize for his unrecognizable performance in “The Penguin.” (Last year, Netflix’s “Beef” swept all three awards.)
Nikki Glaser, the Emmy-, Grammy- and Golden Globe-nominated comedian who was the first woman to host the Globes solo, kicked it all off with a raucous monologue that played well in the room and on TV — and was a huge improvement over last year’s disastrous Jo Koy faceplant.
This year’s awards mark the second Globes since the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was disbanded amid accusations of discrimination and improper behavior within the organization. In 2023, Penske Media Eldridge acquired all rights to the Golden Globes from the HFPA and the ceremony found a new home on CBS.
