The Brutalist, Brady Corbet's 215-minute postwar epic, was crowned best drama film at the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday, putting one of 2024's most ambitious films on course to be a major contender at the Academy Awards. The Brutalist, shot in VistaVision and being released with an intermission, also won best director for Corbet and best actor for Adrian Brody. The film, about a Jewish artist in the aftermath of World War II, bears many connections to one of Brody's most renowned films, The Pianist. "Final cut tiebreak 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.

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. It 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 would be a beacon of light in dark times. I don't have sisters and maybe that's why I made this film about sisterhood, said Audiard. If there were more sisters in the world, it could be a better place.

The night's big actor winners included some surprises. One shocker was Moore's win for best actress in a comedy or musical. Her comeback performance in The Substance, about a Hollywood star who resorts to an experimental process to regain her youth, landed the 62-year-old Moore her first Globe, a victory that came over the heavily favored Mikey Madison of Anora. "I'm just in shock right now. I've been doing this for 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 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. It is a film based on a true story drama about a family living through the disappearance of political dissident Rubens Paiva in 1970s Rio de Janeiro.

Best supporting 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 matters but these films are real and they're necessary. But we can't be afraid and look away", said Stan.

Comedian Nikki Glaser kicked off the Globes, with a promise, "I'm not here to roast you." But Glaser, a stand-up whose breakthrough came in a withering roast of Tom Brady, made her way around the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, on Sunday picking out plenty of targets in an opening monologue she had worked out extensively in comedy clubs beforehand. While Glaser might not have reached Tina Fey and Amy Poehler levels of laughs, the monologue was mostly a winner, and a dramatic improvement over last year's host, Jo Koy. Last year's Globes, following a diversity and ethics scandal that led to the dissolution of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, were widely panned but delivered where it counted. Ratings rebounded to about 10 million viewers, according to Nielsen. CBS, who waded in after NBC dumped the Globes, signed up for five more years. Hosting the Globes two weeks before the inauguration of Donald Trump, Glaser reserved perhaps her most cutting line for the whole room of Hollywood stars, "You could really do anything ... except tell the country who to vote for", said Glaser. But it's OK, you'll get 'em next time ... if there is one. I'm scared."

The Globes' award for cinematic and box-office achievement went to Jon M. Chu's Wicked, which has nearly collected $700 million in theaters. In a heavily arthouse 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 favorite 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 the best date night that my wife and I ever had 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 the 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.

Most of the TV winners were soft-awarded series, including the Emmy champ 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, actress for Jean Smart), The Bear (Jeremy Allen White for best actor), and Baby Reindeer (best-limited series). Ali Wong won for best stand-up performance, Jodie Foster for True Detective, and Colin Farrell for his physical transformation in The Penguin.
