The 82nd Golden Globe Awards were presented on Sunday.
“The Brutalist,” a historical epic that examines the post-war immigrant experience, and “Emilia Pérez,” a musical about a drug lord who undergoes gender-affirming surgery, won top honors at the ceremony.
“Emilia Pérez,” named best musical or comedy, led all films with four wins, while “The Brutalist,” which received the prize for best drama, was close behind with three victories.
“Shōgun,” a lavish historical saga set in feudal Japan that became a streaming smash for FX and Hulu, dominated the TV prizes, scoring four awards including for best TV drama.
“Baby Reindeer,” Richard Gadd’s semi-autobiographical look at his experience with a stalker, was named best limited series, anthology or TV movie, one of two honors bestowed to the Netflix show.
“Hacks,” the story of a stand-up legend and her prodigy, was another double winner, most notably picking up the prize for best TV series – musical or comedy.
“The Brutalist” star Adrien Brody, who plays a brilliant architect struggling to build his masterwork, was named best actor in a drama, while Brady Corbet, who spent seven years laboring to bring the three-hour-plus film to the screen, won for best director.
“I’m Still Here’s” Fernanda Torres received best actress in a drama for her wrenching work as a woman whose husband is abducted and disappeared by the police during Brazil’s military dictatorship.
She beat more prominent contenders like Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”) and Angelina Jolie (“Maria”).
Demi Moore was awarded best actress in a comedy for her portrayal in “The Substance” as a middle-aged actress who uses a black market drug to appear more youthful.
Sebastian Stan, a dual nominee on Sunday night, picked up the best actor in a comedy prize for “A Different Man,” in which he played a performer with neurofibromatosis who undergoes a radical medical procedure to change his appearance.
He also received a nod for portraying a young Donald Trump in “The Apprentice.”
“Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now,” Stan urged the audience.
Hiroyuki Sanada was named best actor in a TV drama for playing an ambitious nobleman on “Shōgun,” while his co-star Anna Sawai was recognized as best actress in a TV drama for portraying Sanada’s character’s trusted translator.
Jean Smart’s work as a comic legend on “Hacks” earned her the award for best actress in a TV comedy.
“I never thought I’d be so happy to be called a hack,” Smart joked of the role.
An absent Jeremy Allen White was named best actor in a TV comedy for playing a hard-driving culinary genius on “The Bear.”
“The Penguin” star Colin Farrell was named best actor in a limited series, anthology or TV movie for taking on the titular gangster and Batman nemesis.
“I guess it’s prosthetics from here on out,” he said of his makeup-heavy turn.
Jodie Foster won best actress in a limited series, anthology or TV movie for playing a prickly police officer in “True Detective: North Country.”
Kieran Culkin nabbed the best supporting actor prize for his turn in “A Real Pain” as an emotionally damaged man embarking on a tour of Poland with his cousin.
“Emilia Pérez’s” Zoe Saldaña was named best supporting actress for her singing and dancing performance as an idealistic lawyer.
Nikki Glaser, the comedian and actress who so memorably savaged Tom Brady at the football legend’s Netflix roast last year, hosted the ceremony and offered her razor-sharp observations of Hollywood, sending up everything from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal headaches to Timothée Chalamet’s facial hair to Ozempic, the diet drug of choice for many celebs.
She also addressed Donald Trump’s re-election, a decisive victory that happened despite Kamala Harris’ barrage of A-list endorsements.
“You’re all so famous, so talented, so powerful,” Glaser joked. “You can really do anything, except tell the country who to vote for.”
It’s not just Trump’s political resurrection that’s left Hollywood feeling less celebratory.
The coronavirus first decimated film and television production and upended the cinema industry. Then, the 2023 actors and writers strikes led to production delays and shutdowns, which came as entertainment conglomerates were trying, and largely failing, to replace their diminishing revenues from cable with the streaming services they’d invested heavily in launching.
The combination of labor issues, shifting business models and the pandemic has left the industry struggling to find its footing — layoffs and cutbacks have been the order of the day.
And the Globes have endured their own turbulence and tumult in recent years.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of journalists that traditionally handed out the honors, became mired in controversy in 2021 after news broke that the group had no Black members.
The association was subsequently restructured as a for-profit enterprise, one that is now owned by Variety’s parent company Penske Media in a joint venture with Eldridge.
The voting body, which is now more racially diverse, numbers 300 entertainment journalists from 85 countries. Before the changes, winners were determined by fewer than 100 members.
Unlike the Oscars, the Globes don’t honor crafts such as cinematography or editing, and they recognize television in addition to film.
They also spread the wealth more generously among contenders. Films are divided between dramas and musicals and comedies.
It means that many movies that win big at the Globes fail to carry their momentum through to the Academy Awards, though “Oppenheimer” dominated last year’s broadcast and went on to triumph at the Oscars.
The reimagined Globes have added categories, including an honor for best standup special, which went to Ali Wong for “Single Lady,” and best box office achievement, which was awarded to “Wicked.”
Jon M. Chu, the director of “Wicked,” positioned the ebullient story about an unlikely friendship between two witches, as a rejection of cynicism and pessimism.
“We can still make art that is a radical act of optimism,” he declared.
