Two wildly audacious films — Brady Corbet’s 215-minute postwar epic “The Brutalist” and Jacques Audiard’s Spanish language, genre-shifting trans musical “Emilia Perez” — won top honors at the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday.
The Globes, which are still finding their footing after years of scandal and makeover, scattered awards around to several films. But the awards group put its strongest support behind a pair of movies that sought to defy easy categorization.
“The Brutalist” was crowned best film, drama, putting one of 2024’s most ambitious films on course to be a major contender at the Academy Awards. The film, shot in VistaVision and released with an intermission, also won best director for Corbet and best actor for Adrien Brody. In his acceptance speech, Corbet spoke about filmmakers needing approval on the final cut.
“I was told that this film was un-distributable,” said Corbet. “No one was asking for a three-and-half-hour film about a mid-century designer in 70mm. But it works.”
“Emilia Pérez” won Best Film, comedy or Musical, elevating the Oscar chances of Netflix’s top contender. It also won Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña, Best Song (“El Mal”), and Best non-English language film. Audiard, the French director, made way for Karla Sofía Gascón, the film’s transgender star who plays a Mexican drug lord who undergoes gender-affirming surgery, to speak on behalf of the film.
“The light always wins over darkness,” said Gascón, gesturing to her brightly orange dress. “You can maybe put us in jail. You can beat us up. But you never can take away our soul or existence or identity.”
“I am who I am. Not who you want.”
Demi wins her first Globe
Though the Globe audience was particularly starry, including nominees Zendaya, Timothée Chalamet, Angelina Jolie, and Daniel Craig, most winners hailed from smaller, less-seen films.
That included some surprises. One was Demi 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 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, a producer told me that I was a popcorn actress.”
Best actress, in a drama film, was an even bigger surprise. 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. Torres dedicated the award to her mother, the great actor Fernanda Montenegro, who appears in “I’m Still Here,” too.
“She was here 25 years ago,” said Torres. “And this is like a proof that art can endure through life even through difficult moments.”
Best supporting actor in a musical or comedy went to Sebastian Stan for “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.”
Glaser lightly roasts the Globes
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 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 they 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 entire 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 are now owned by Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions, which acquired the award show from the now-defunct Hollywood Foreign Press Association. However, more than a dozen former HFPA members are currently seeking to have the sale to Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions rescinded.
A win for ‘Wicked’
Unlike last year’s Oscar race, when “Oppenheimer” rolled, this year’s season is more uncertain, with a field of contenders. Most of the movies that are seen as having a chance — “Conclave,” “Emilia Perez,” “The Brutalist,” “Wicked” and “Anora” — came away with at least one award Sunday. The exception was Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning “Anora,” which went home empty handed despite five nominations.
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 in the best picture mix. Accepting the award, Chu argued for “a radical act of optimism” in art.
Though few awards have been predictable this season, Kieran Culkin is emerging has the clear favorite for best supporting actor. Culkin won Sunday 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 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.”
TV prizes
Most of the TV winners were oft-awarded series, including the Emmy champ “Shōgun.” 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.”
“I guess it’s prosthetics from here on out,” said Farrell.
Fasten your seatbelts, fashion fans! With some of Hollywood’s most fashion-forward stars up for awards this year, it will be an eventful season. And the Golden Globes gets it all started, with stars (and their stylists) marking their territory at one of Hollywood’s splashiest events. Big this year: lots of sparkle and shine, and a return to old-school red carpet glamour. Also: long opera gloves.
Cate Blanchett, Glen Powell, and Dakota Fanning were among the celebrities strutting the red carpet at the Golden Globes Sunday, where gold and bright colors shined. (Jan. 5)
Here are some of the looks catching attention Sunday at the Golden Globes:
Ariana Grande: From Glinda pink to Hepburn yellow
She didn’t wear pink, the favored color of Glinda the Good. But “Wicked” star Grande evoked another Ozian color — yellow (of the yellow brick road, of course) in Givenchy haute couture. The gown was in pale silk with a hand-beaded bodice, a vintage 1966 gown from what the designer calls the Audrey Hepburn era of Givenchy. She wore a Swarovski choker and white opera gloves.
Mikey Madison: New movie star, new fashion star
Few red-carpet arrivals were more anticipated than that of Mikey Madison, the breakout “Anora” star who’s been making waves in the fashion world, too, this season. Madison wore a shiny gold, strapless column gown from Bottega Veneta that emphasized her much-discussed fashion transformation into classic movie-star glamour.
Cate Blanchett: Glistening in gold
Actor Blanchett looked like an awards statue come to life in a glistening gold gown with a ruched top by Louis Vuitton — one that she also wore at the Cannes Film Festival. New gold stones were added to the gown, designed by Nicholas Ghesquière, to freshen the look.
Nicole Kidman: Sparkling in silver
Where Blanchett glistened in gold, Kidman sparkled in silver, in a daring, one-shoulder backless Balenciaga gown. The “Babygirl” star polished off the look with a chic, voluminous half-ponytail.
Ali Wong: Fiery in red
Actor-comedian Wong wasn’t easy to miss on the carpet: She wore a cascading gown of bright fire-engine red tulle. The grand Balenciaga number was accessorized with a satin belt and glamorous black spandex opera gloves, almost up to the shoulder.
Zoë Kravitz: Old-school glamour, a pink bow
The “Don’t Blink Twice” director went traditional with a black velvet Saint Laurent gown featuring a plunging neckline, with a sweet pastel pink silk bow around her waist. She was a favorite of Kevin Huynh, InStyle’s fashion director, who said he loved how she “channeled old-school Hollywood glamour.”
Timothée Chalamet: No wool beanie here
Globes host Nikki Glaser zeroed right in on Chalamet, one of the hottest stars in Hollywood, in her monologue, telling him: “You have the most gorgeous eyelashes on your upper lip.” As for the clothes on his body, Chalamet went more traditional than other recent trips to the carpet, wearing a sleek Tom Ford black suit with embellished jacket, a white shirt and a blue scarf tossed around his neck (or was it a tie?) No wool beanie like in the Dylan-inspired look he wore to the New York premiere of his film, “A Complete Unknown.”
Ayo Edebiri: Calling Julia Roberts
Edebiri has been a bright spot on many a recent red carpet. This time, she went in an unusual direction: menswear. Working with designer Jonathan Anderson at the label Loewe, Edebrii decided to channel Julia Roberts’ memorable Golden Globe attire at the 1990 show — a big, boxy gray suit. Edebiri added a brilliant gold leaf necklace to the mix, resembling a long necktie.
Colman Domingo: Still slaying on the carpet
One surefire red-carpet star is “Sing Sing” actor Colman Domingo, who consistently wows with his appearances. These Globes were no exception. His Valentino ensemble included a voluminous, ever-stylish silk bow tie in black and white, and a polka dot shirt.
Cynthia Erivo: Five-hour nails
The “Wicked” actor continued her season-long fashion show in a black embellished dress by Louis Vuitton, choosing not to wear green this time. But it was her remarkably detailed nail art, a hallmark of Erivo’s style, that got a lot of attention, too, including her admission on E! News that it had taken her manicurist five hours to create the day’s artwork.
Kerry Washington: Opera gloves are a thing
Those opera gloves are really a thing this year: Also wearing them was actor Washington, who sported a neon pink silk taffeta gown, also from Balenciaga, with a train – the combo providing “a bit of edgy glamour,” Huynh said.
Angelina Jolie: Mom and daughter, coordinated
Jolie was definitely part of the evening’s glamour contingent, wearing a glistening Alexander McQueen gown of intertwining metallic colors in a branchlike pattern. Her daughter, Zahara, dressed to coordinate with her mom, with a similar pattern on her long white dress. Huynh said it was one of his favorite looks, because while Jolie is often known to wear simple, sleek gowns, “this dazzling, heavily embellished McQueen look made her every bit the silver screen siren.”
Tyler James Williams: Schooling the masses in fashion
Williams, of “Abbott Elementary,” is never safe or boring on the carpet. On Sunday he sported a gray pinstripe suit with cropped, double-breasted jacket with dramatic shoulder pads and a bare chest peeking out, over loose trousers.
Quinta Brunson: Sequins to spare
WIlliams’ colleague, “Abbott Elementary” creator and star Quinta Bronson, looked sleek in a heavily embellished custom Roberto Cavalli gown. Huynh called the color, chocolate brown, “the color of the season.”
Glen Powell: A (fashion) hitman in Armani
Powell eschewed the tie and instead channeled casual glamour in an open-necked brown shirt and black velvet jacket, by Giorgio Armani. Looks like Powell’s “are proving that best-dressed lists aren’t just for actresses,” Huynh said.
The Lookalikes: Dressing up for the night
It’s been the year of celeb lookalike contests. Max Braunstein won a Powell lookalike contest. Miles Mitchell won a Chalamet event. And so they both ended up at the Globes. Their key fashion accessory: Signs that read “I won a lookalike contest and now I’m at the Golden Globes.”
