The Golden Globes honored Tunisian actress Hend Sabry and Indian actress Alia Bhatt at a glitzy gala dinner during the fifth edition of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival.
Sabry was the recipient of the Omar Sharif Award and Bhatt was awarded the Golden Globes Horizon Award.
Among the guests at the event were directors Sean Baker and Darren Aronofsky, actresses Sigourney Weaver, Naomie Harris, Shailene Woodley, Olga Kurylenko, Idris Elba, Édgar Ramírez, Salman Khan, Henry Golding, and Riz Ahmed.
Sabry’s performances in films such as “The Yacoubian Building,” “Scheherazade,” “Tell Me a Story,” and “Asmaa” earned her widespread recognition for her nuanced portrayals of complex, socially resonant characters.
Bhatt has received critical acclaim and box-office success for standout performances in films such as “Highway,” “Raazi,” “Udta Punjab,” “Dear Zindagi,” and “Gangubai Kathiawadi.”
Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, described Sarby as “a truly iconic performer and humanitarian whose body of work reflects the depth, power, and global impact of Arab cinema.”
The award for Bhatt, she added, celebrated “her exceptional contributions to international cinema.”
Sabry said, “My career has been devoted to uplifting women with complex stories and I am thrilled to be sharing this Golden Globes stage with Alia Bhatt, one of the next generation’s brightest and most talented stars.”
Bhatt commented, “The Golden Globes are an iconic part of the global awards universe and I am delighted to be part of it and look forward to continuing my career in telling more stories of powerful and deserving women.”
