YEREVAN, JANUARY 6, ARMENPRESS. “The Brutalist” and “Emilia Perez” took the top movie prizes at the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards, emerging as the only two films to garner multiple wins, The Golden Globes reported on its official website.
“Shogun,” hacked off a third of the dozen TV awards, as the epic drama set in feudal Japan repeated its dominance at the Emmys.
An epic film tracing the history of the 20th century, “The Brutalist” took awards for star Adrien Brody and director Brady Corbet in addition to its win the drama balloting.
“Nobody was asking for a 3 1/2-hour film about a midcentury designer,” Corbet said in his second acceptance speech, making a plea to allow directors the latitude to make movies that will challenge audiences.
A Netflix production, the buoyant musical “Emilia Perez” amassed four awards, matching “Shogun” among all productions, including non-English-language film (representing France, although the movie is mostly in Spanish), supporting actress Zoe Saldana and best song, “El Mal.”
Saldana, who opened the show with a tearful acceptance, was one of many first-time winners represented during the ceremony, which spread the wealth by distributing the remaining film categories among eight different movies.
Marking the start of the awards season, the Globes as usual exhibited a strong international flavor, a quality augmented by the multiple wins notched by the historical epic drama series “Shogun,” the limited series “Baby Reindeer” and“Emilia Perez.”
The awards also featured a number of first-time winners, including a few breakthroughs for veteran performers.
Demi Moore, for example, was recognized for her lead role in “The Substance,” prompting her to choke up during an emotional acceptance speech in which she noted, “This is the first time I’ve ever won anything,” adding that someone had dismissed her as “a popcorn actress” earlier in her career. She had been nominated twice previously, the first coming for “Ghost” in 1991.
