The Brutalist, the story of a Holocaust survivor who chases the American dream, and musical thriller Emilia Perez took home the first major movie honours of Hollywood’s awards season at the Golden Globes.
The Brutalist was named best movie drama and star Adrien Brody won best film actor.
The genre-shifting trans musical Emilia Perez won best film, comedy or musical, handing Jacques Audiard’s movie a major prize and elevating the Oscar chances of Netflix’s top Oscar contender.
Most of the TV winners were oft-awarded series, including the Emmys champion Shogun. It won four awards, including best drama series and acting wins for Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai and Tadanobu Asano.


Other repeat winners were: Hacks (best comedy series, best actress for Jean Smart), The Bear (Jeremy Allen White for best actor) and Baby Reindeer (best limited series and best supporting actress for Jessica Gunning).
The night’s big actor winners included some surprises. One shocker was Moore’s win for best actress in a comedy or musical.


The win for The Brutalist puts one of 2024’s most ambitious films on course to be a major contender at the Academy Awards.
The film, about a Jewish architect who flees Europe in the aftermath of World War II, has some parallels to one of Brody’s most renowned films, The Pianist, for which he won a best actor Oscar.
“Final cut tie break goes to the director,” said Corbet. “No one was asking for a three-and-half-hour film about a mid-century designer in 70mm. But it works.”

Emilia Perez also won best supporting actress for Zoe Saldana, best song, “El Mal”, and best non-English language film. French director Audiard said through an interpreter that he hoped the film is “a beacon of light” in dark times.
Moore’s comeback performance in The Substance, about a Hollywood star who resorts to an experimental process to regain her youth, landed the 62-year-old her first Globe – a victory that came over the heavily favoured Mikey Madison of Anora.
“I’m just in shock right now. I’ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first thing I’ve ever won as an actor,” said Moore, who was last nominated by the Globes for a film role in 1991 for Ghost. “Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress.”

Best actress in a drama film was a surprise, too. The Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres won for her performance in I’m Still Here, a based-on-a-true-story drama about a family living through the disappearance of political dissident Rubens Paiva in 1970s Rio de Janeiro.
Best actor in a musical or comedy went to Sebastian Stan for another movie about physical transformation, A Different Man, in which Stan plays a man with a deformed face who’s healed. Stan, who was also nominated for playing Donald Trump in The Apprentice, noted that both films were hard to get made.
“These are tough subject maters but these films are real and they’re necessary,” said Stan. “But we can’t be afraid and look away.”

Among the big losers were Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two and Anora, Sean Baker’s Palme D’Or winner at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
Globe honorees were chosen by 334 entertainment journalists from 85 countries, compared with roughly 9,000 voters who select the Academy Awards. The Globes voting body has been expanded in recent years and organisers instituted reforms after being criticised for ethical lapses and a lack of diversity.
Winning a Globe can shine a spotlight on films and performances in the run-up to the Academy Awards in March.

The Globes’ award for cinematic and box-office achievement went to Jon M. Chu’s Wicked, which has nearly taken US$700 million at the box office.
In a heavily art house Oscar field, Wicked is easily the biggest hit seen as having a chance to win best picture. Accepting the award, Chu argued for “a radical act of optimism” in art.
Though few film awards have been predictable this season, Kieran Culkin is emerging as the clear favourite for best supporting actor. Culkin won for his performance in Jesse Eisenberg’s A Real Pain, his second Globe in the past year following a win for the HBO series Succession.
He called the Globes “basically the best date night that my wife and I ever have”, and then thanked her for “putting up what you call my mania”.

The papal thriller Conclave took best screenplay, for Peter Straughan’s script. Flow, the wordless Latvian animated parable about a cat in a flooded world, took best animated film, winning over studio blockbusters like Inside Out 2 and The Wild Robot. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won best score for their thumping music for Challengers.
Ali Wong won for best stand-up TV performance, Jodie Foster for True Detective: Night Country and Colin Farrell for his physical transformation in The Penguin.
“I guess it’s prosthetics from here on out,” said Farrell.
