‘The Brutalist’, ‘Emilia Perez’

The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez won top film honours at the 82nd Golden Globes on Sunday (January 5), on a night that ensured the awards field for the Oscars and Baftas remains refreshingly open.

Netflix’s Emilia Pérez started the night with the most film nominations on 10 and ended up with the most film wins – four out of a possible eight (it was nominated twice in both the supporting actress and song categories), including Oscar favourite Zoe Saldana for supporting actress, best film not in the English language, and best song for ‘El Mal’.

Lead acting Globes went to Adrien Brody for A24’s The Brutalist and Brazilian veteran Fernanda Torres for Sony Pictures Classics’ I’m Still Here in the dramatic categories. Torres became the first Brazilian to win her category. Her mother, Fernanda Montenegro, now 95, earned a nomination in the same category in 1999 for Central Station. Walter Salles directed both films and Montenegro appears at the end of I’m Still Here, playing an older version of Torres’s character.

In the musical or comedy categories, Demi Moore won for Mubi’s The Substance and Sebastian Stan won for A24’s A Different Man.

Kieran Culkin for Searchlight Pictures’ A Real Pain won supporting acting Globes and remains a strong prospect to win the Academy Award.

Brady Corbet won best director for The Brutalist in a boost to his prospects for the remainder of awards season, while Peter Straughan did the same with his screenplay win for Focus Features’ Conclave.

The Brutalist converted seven nominations into three, and Conclave left with one win from six. Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winner Anora ended the show empty-handed, although there is still a window to campaign before the Oscar and Bafta nominations are announced later this month.

These two voting sets can diverge considerably from the Globes when the field lacks a clear behemoth like last season’s Oppenheimer. It is hard to predict what impact Globes winners might have on the Oscars and Baftas races, especially given the former group’s broader, bifurcated film and lead acting fields. The aura of attention around Sunday’s winners could confirm Oscars and Baftas voters’ inclinations or make them reconsider compelling candidates they may have overlooked.

Fernanda Torres’s win in best dramatic actress for I’m Still Here, for example, might well propel her into the vanguard of Oscar contenders. (She did not make it onto the Bafta longlist.) By prevailing over the likes of Nicole Kidman for Babygirl, Angelina Jolie for Marie (who did not make it onto the Bafta longlist), and Kate Winslet for Lee, hers was arguably the surprise of the night.

A similar observation could be made about Demi Moore in the musical or comedy category for The Substance, who beat a field including Mikey Madison from Anora and Karla Sofía Gascón from Emilia Pérez.

The Bafta longlists came out on January 3 and members have begun to vote on the nominations, which will be announced on January 15, one month before the ceremony on February 16. In the United States, Academy members vote on Oscar nominations from January 8 to 12 ahead of the announcement on January 17. The 97th Academy Awards will be handed out on March 2.

The UK and Ireland winners were Jessica Gunning for television supporting actress with Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, Max’s The Penguin star Colin Farrell for male actor in a limited series, and Conclave screenwriter Straughan.

Universal’s Wicked won the second Cinematic And Box Office Achievement prize set up to broaden the show’s commercial reach and recognise films that gross more than $100m in North America and $150m worldwide. Last year’s inaugural winner was Barbie.

Hacks reclaimed its best musical or comedy television prize after winning in 2022, and the best television drama went to FX/Hulu’s Shogun. Baby Reindeer won best limited series, anthology, or motion picture made for TV.

 A-listers were out in force on a sunny evening at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. Comedian Nikki Glaser hosted a typically lighthearted show and delivered a solid opening monologue, calling the ceremony “Ozempic’s biggest night”. Infamous for her US television roasts, Glaser referenced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is in federal jail in New York awaiting trial for racketeering and sex trafficking, and poked fun at Timothée Chalamet, Harrison Ford, and Paramount Plus.

The event marked another notch on the Golden Globes’ comeback trail, with the unspoken endorsement of personal publicists and Hollywood awards machines. After a damning Los Angeles Times report in 2021 exposed financial impropriety and a lack of diversity under the leadership of the now defunct Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the Golden Globes, led by former HFPA president Helen Hoehne, restructured and expanded membership from around 90 to more than 300 mostly critics and some Fipresci members from 75 countries.

After longtime Globes broadcaster NBC stepped back following the 2023 ceremony, Jay Penske-owned Dick Clark Productions acquired the Golden Globes with Eldridge Industries and struck a deal with CBS and Paramount+ to air the 2024 show in a one-off arrangement. The Paramount Global stablemates and the Golden Globes consummated the arrangement last year in a new five-year deal that started with Sunday’s 82nd Golden Globes.

Viewership figures will be released on Monday. The 2024 ceremony averaged 9.96m viewers for the live show and the following seven days’ viewership on linear TV, marking nearly a 50% rise on the previous year.

On Friday (January 3) Viola Davis collected the Cecil B. DeMille Award and Ted Danson the Carol Burnett Award honouring television achievements in Beverly Hills at the first gala dinner dedicated solely to the two honorary Globes.
