The 82nd Golden Globe Awards celebrated cinematic and television excellence in Beverly Hills, California, with unforgettable moments and groundbreaking wins. Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist triumphed as Best Drama Film, also securing Best Director for Corbet and Best Actor for Adrien Brody. Corbet humorously remarked in his acceptance speech, “No one was asking for a three-and-a-half-hour film about a mid-century designer in 70mm. But it works.”
Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez, a genre-defying musical about a Mexican drug lord undergoing gender-affirming surgery, dominated with 10 nominations and won Best Film – Musical or Comedy, Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña, Best Non-English Language Film, and Best Original Song for El Mal. Audiard expressed hope that the film would serve as “a beacon of light” during challenging times.
Television also had its moment of glory, with FX’s Shōgun winning Best Drama Series and earning accolades for Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai, and Tadanobu Asano. Meanwhile, Hacks won Best Comedy Series, with Jean Smart taking home Best Actress for the second time.
Demi Moore’s stunning comeback in The Substance earned her the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, marking her first Golden Globe win. Sebastian Stan claimed Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his transformative role in A Different Man.
Notable nominees, including Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl), Martin Short (Only Murders in the Building), and Denis Villeneuve (Dune: Part Two), were among those who left without wins this year.
The event, hosted by provocative comedian Nikki Glaser, was the second iteration of the reimagined awards ceremony following the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s dissolution. Amidst ongoing efforts to rebuild its reputation, the Golden Globes delivered a night of glamour, emotion, and cinematic celebration.
