Golden Globe voters did little to clear up a blurry awards picture in Hollywood on Sunday, giving little-seen films like The Brutalist and Emilia Pérez roughly equal treatment and snubbing some perceived Oscar front-runners, including Anora.
The Brutalist, an immigrant epic from A24 that has yet to open in wide release, received three Globes, winning best drama, best actor (Adrien Brody) and best director (Brady Corbet). Emilia Pérez, a Spanish-language Netflix musical exploring trans identity, was victorious in four categories, taking best comedy or musical, best supporting actress (Zoe Saldaña), best song (El Mal) and best non-English-language film.
The other film prizes were scattered far and wide, with Wicked, The Substance, A Different Man, Flow, I’m Still Here, Conclave, Challengers and A Real Pain winning one Globe each.
Anora, which went into the night with five nominations, left with nothing, as did The Wild Robot, which had four nods, and the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, which had three. Awards handicappers have expected this trio — especially Anora, about a young sex worker — to be strong Oscar contenders.
On the television side of the ledger, Shogun, the FX drama, had a big night, winning best TV drama, best actor, best actress and best supporting actor. Other TV victories went to Hacks, Baby Reindeer, The Bear, True Detective: Night Country and The Penguin.
Globes voters veered toward movies that few Americans have seen. Flow, about a cat on a survival journey, won best animated film. It collected $2.6 million at the box office. (To compare, the nominated Inside Out 2 had $653 million in domestic ticket sales.) Fernanda Torres was named best actress for her performance in the Brazilian film I’m Still Here. One exception: The blockbuster Wicked won for cinematic and box office achievement, an award in its second year.
In the past, Globe voters have been eager to put new television shows on the awards map. But not this time. The trophies Sunday night largely went to time-tested series, with newcomers like Black Doves, The Day of the Jackal, Disclaimer and Nobody Wants This sent home empty-handed. The Penguin, the HBO comic-book series, won for its star (Colin Farrell) but lost best limited series to Baby Reindeer, which was already thoroughly feted by the Emmys. Jessica Gunning collected the trophy for supporting actress in a TV series for Netflix’s Baby Reindeer.
Demi Moore won her first Globe. “I’m just in shock right now,” she said, picking up the trophy for best actress in a comedy for The Substance. “I’ve been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor.” In her speech, she recalled once being dismissed by a producer as a “popcorn actress.”
Jodie Foster won her fifth Globe for the latest season of True Detective.
The show started with a light and breezy monologue by Nikki Glaser that marked a dramatic turnaround from last year’s train wreck of an opener by Jo Koy. “Welcome to Ozempic’s biggest night,” she said. Glaser had said in interviews before the ceremony that she planned to keep her monologue playful, and she did, skipping past the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni smear scandal that has consumed Hollywood. (As a first-time host, she had explained, she wanted to be invited back.)
