Adrien Brody took home the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Film Drama for his role in “The Brutalist.” The Golden Globe voters created a mixed awards picture on Sunday, giving recognition to lesser-known films like “The Brutalist” and “Emilia Pérez” while snubbing some expected Oscar contenders, including “Anora.”
Key Highlights:
- “The Brutalist,” an immigrant epic from A24, won three Globes: Best Drama, Best Actor (Adrien Brody), and Best Director (Brady Corbet).
- “Emilia Pérez,” a Spanish-language Netflix musical exploring trans identity, won four categories: Best Comedy or Musical, Best Supporting Actress (Zoe Saldaña), Best Song (“El Mal”), and Best Non-English-Language Film.
- Other films like “Wicked,” “The Substance,” “A Different Man,” “Flow,” “I’m Still Here,” “Conclave,” “Challengers,” and “A Real Pain” each won one Globe.
- “Anora,” which had five nominations, left empty-handed, as did “The Wild Robot” and the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown.”
Television Awards:
- “Shogun,” the FX drama, had a big night, winning Best TV Drama, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor.
- Other TV winners included “Hacks,” “Baby Reindeer,” “The Bear,” “True Detective: Night Country,” and “The Penguin.”
Notable Wins:
- “Flow,” about a cat on a survival journey, won Best Animated Film despite modest box office earnings.
- Fernanda Torres won Best Actress for her role in the Brazilian film “I’m Still Here.”
- The blockbuster “Wicked” won for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
Surprises and Snubs:
- Globe voters favored established TV series over newcomers, with shows like “Black Doves,” “The Day of the Jackal,” “Disclaimer,” and “Nobody Wants This” going home empty-handed.
- “The Penguin” won for its star Colin Farrell but lost Best Limited Series to “Baby Reindeer.”
Memorable Moments:
- Demi Moore won her first Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy for “The Substance,” expressing her shock and recalling being dismissed as a “popcorn actress.”
- Jodie Foster won her fifth Globe for the latest season of “True Detective.”
- Host Nikki Glaser delivered a light and breezy monologue, marking a significant improvement from last year’s opener by Jo Koy.
