The Academy Awards in March mark the end of Hollywood’s protracted awards season, which begins with the Globes.
The Brutalist, which tells the tale of a Holocaust survivor who seeks the American dream, and Emilia Perez‘s musical thriller won the Golden Globes on Sunday, Hollywood’s first major film honors.
Voters for the Globes, which are given out by entertainment journalists worldwide, selected Adrien Brody as the best drama film actor and The Brutalist as the best movie drama. Brady Corbet won the best director award for the movie as well.
The film from independent company A24 is “a monument to humanity and the arts,” according to Brody, who plays an architect attempting to establish a life in the United States.
On stage at the black-tie event in Beverly Hills, Brody said, “I hope this work stands to lift you up a bit and give you a voice to the many people who have struggled emigrating to this country.”
Emilia Perez, which tells the story of a Mexican drug lord who changes into a woman, won for best comedy or musical film. With four wins overall, including a supporting actress award for Zoe Saldana, the Spanish-language Netflix picture took first place among all films.
Karla Sofía Gascón, the trans actor who plays the lead in Emilia Perez, stated that “the light always wins over the darkness.” “You cannot take away our identity, existence, or soul.”
The Academy Awards in March mark the end of Hollywood’s protracted awards season, which begins with the Globes. A Globe can draw attention to films vying for the Oscars’ coveted best picture award.
The Globe for cinematic and box office success went to Wicked, the box office hit that was based on the well-liked Broadway musical. On stage with the actors, director Jon M. Chu talked about his passion for films.
“We can still create art that is an act of optimism, empowerment, and joy even in this day and age when pessimism and cynicism sort of rule the planet,” Chu stated.
Honored Demi Moore
Unexpectedly, Demi Moore’s performance in The Substance, which tells the tale of a fading actress searching for a fountain of life, earned her the award for best actress in a musical or comedy film.
Moore, who is well-known for films like Ghost and St. Elmo’s Fire, told the audience that she was previously written off as a “popcorn actress” and worried that her career was coming to an end.
As she hoisted the prize on stage, Moore remarked, “I’m just in shock right now.” I’ve been doing this for more than forty-five years. I have never won anything as an actor till now.
Fernanda Torres of Brazil won the trophy for best actress in a movie drama for the Portuguese-language film I’m Still Here, among other honors. The film follows a lady who, under Brazil’s military dictatorship in 1971, must start again after her family is destroyed by violence.
Sebastian Stan was voted best actor in a film musical or comedy for A Different Man, a movie about a man with facial deformities.
“Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now,” Stan added. “We must normalize it and keep exposing our kids and ourselves to it.”
A Real Pain, a dramedy about cousins who visit Poland to learn more about their ancestry, won Kieran Culkin’s award for outstanding supporting actor.
First-time host Nikki Glaser greeted the celebrity audience to “Ozempic’s biggest night” at the beginning of the event and made fun of Selena Gomez, Timothee Chalamet, Harrison Ford, and other influential people in the audience.
Glaser made reference to the broad Hollywood backing for the losing candidate in the most recent US presidential election when he quipped, “You could do anything, except tell the country who to vote for.”
Celebrities glistened on the red carpet before the performance in gowns that were mostly black, gold, and silver with a hint of periwinkle or red. Ariana Grande, star of Wicked, claimed that the yellow brick road leading to Oz in the film musical was the inspiration behind her yellow Givenchy gown with a beaded bodice.
In contrast to the almost 9,000 voters who choose the Academy Awards, 334 entertainment writers from 85 nations selected the Globe recipients. After facing criticism for unethical behavior and a lack of diversity, the Globes’ voting body was enlarged in recent years and its organizers implemented changes.
Shogun won best TV drama, Baby Reindeer won best limited series, and Hacks won best musical or comedy series.
