As it happened: Emilia Perez, The Brutalist and Shogun win big at Golden Globes

Here you’ll find all the nominees and winners in key categories.

Three of the nominated actors at this year’s Golden Globes had double nominations.

Sebastian Stan was nominated for best actor in a drama motion picture for his performance as Donald Trump in The Apprentice, and in a musical or comedy motion picture for A Different Man.

Selena Gomez was nominated for best female actor in a supporting role for Emilia Pérez and best female actor in a musical or comedy television series for Only Murders in the Building.

And Kate Winslet was nominated for best female actor in a drama motion picture category for Lee, and in a series or motion picture made for television category for The Regime.

Thanks for joining us for our live coverage of the 82nd Golden Globes.

And if the Globes have inspired you to head to the movies, you’ll find our reviews of this summer’s new releases in the collection below. See you next time.

Dead and buried following accusations of a lack of diversity and an all-engulfing junkets-for-votes scandal a couple of years ago, the ceremony (with a new name, and an expanded, but far from entirely different, voting membership) has somehow done the full Lazarus and managed to convince us all that it not only matters but that it is (more or less) legitimate, in just two short years.

This year’s event has gone off seemingly without hitch or undue controversy. The broadcast was slick and not overly long-winded and it provided a small smattering of fun moments that will probably be talked about for at least, oh, 15 minutes. What more can you ask for?

Here, then, are some takeaways from the 82nd Golden Globe Awards.

Demi Moore absolutely nailed it
Though she told me in an interview back in September that she did not share the fury that fuels writer-director Coralie Fargeat’s brilliant and bonkers body-horror comedy The Substance, Moore’s speech in accepting the award for best female actor in a comedy suggested she had at least some sympathy for it.

Nikki Glaser was glitzy, but not ditzy
In her first outing as host, Glaser sparkled – literally. Lots of sequins, lots of costumes (possibly as many as 10, by my colleague Melissa Singer’s count, with a clip from her nominated stand-up special offering a bonus 11th), and lots of jokes about sex. She skewered herself and the celebrities in the room. It was well judged, even if it leant a little heavily into innuendo for the laughs.

Jeremy Strong’s suit was his strong suit
Did he come as a garden gnome, a green Oompaloompa, a Swiss cowherd sadly separated from his alphorn? Who knows. But with the camera somehow drawn repeatedly and irresistibly to that shade and that hat, The Apprentice star (nominated against his Succession co-star Kieran Culkin, who won) proved a master of seizing the moment, if not the actual prize.

Australians snubbed
It’s an honour just to be nominated. And with the Australian nominees (Adam Elliot, Cate Blanchett, Guy Pearce, Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts) all overlooked, let’s just keep telling ourselves that. Bloody Golden Globes.

Same speech, different angle
Richard Gadd and Jon M Chu effectively gave the same speech when accepting their awards for Baby Reindeer and Wicked, respectively. “We need more stories like this,” they said (OK, I’m paraphrasing, but not by much). “The world needs more dark tales” (Gadd). “The world needs more uplifting tales” (Chu). And so it goes. Maybe there’s a lesson here for all nominees in the future: Just collect a pre-formatted multiple-choice speech, strike out the words that don’t apply to you, say “ditto” and we can get the whole thing over and done with in 90 minutes.

The Brutalist will pound the Oscars into submission
Coming into awards season, all the chatter has been about a film that the vast majority of people haven’t seen, and will not ever see. The Brutalist. Whatever its merits – and I haven’t yet seen it, though I definitely will, and can’t wait – it’s a niche offering, a tale about tortured creativity, drug addiction and sexual abuse and the Holocaust. And Modernist architecture. Oh, and it’s three-and-a-half hours long. Queues around the block? Only if we’re talking a Lego block. So, in short, it’s not going to be a popular hit, though with wins as best picture, director and actor here, it has firmed as the film to beat at the Oscars (voting for the nominations opens Wednesday, and closes on Sunday).

#Globesnotsowhite
A lack of diversity was a major factor in the implosion of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the awards it ran in 2021-22. The reconstituted Golden Globes Foundation, which now runs the awards, has about triple the membership, and is a lot less white. According to a recent article in Forbes, it now boasts “over 300 members from 76 countries, including 58 per cent who self-identify as ethnically diverse”. And perhaps there’s a correlation between the voting membership and some of the results here: Shogun, Emilia Perez, Brazilian actor Fernanda Torres (I’m Still Here), and the Latvian animated film Flow perhaps fared better than they might have under the old regime. Correlation is not causation, but diversity might be just the corrective the Globes needed given its supposed global outlook.

The ceremony’s over, and what are we left with? Well, we have the memories. The presenters and A-list winners: a very generous goodie bag worth USD$1 million – twice the value of last year’s haul (and remember that’s US dollars, in Australian currency it’s closer to $1.6m).

It contains a $40,000 stem cell facelift and a dance-focused workout worth $15,000. The contents of the coveted swag bags have been revealed by Robb Report, the luxury media company and magazine that curated this year’s Ultimate Gift Book.

A three-night stay in a six-bedroom Caribbean estate villa is available to one recipient.

Giftees will be able to select from a long list of ostentatious prizes, including five-day luxury yacht charters, custom Italian handcrafted suits, a private flight and stay in Finland to see the Northern Lights, and an Atlas bespoke weekender bag to keep all the goodies in – if they fit.

Robb Report president Luke Bahrenburg said in a statement the 2025 collection was the pinnacle of luxury.
“From meticulously curated travel adventures to rare, indulgent treasures, every detail reflects our commitment to celebrating the best in class,” he said.

The big categories have been decided, The Brutalist has won the day. But on the internet, people are dealing with the real issues: who styled Jeremy Strong and what exactly were they going for?

The Apprentice star lost supporting actor (again) to his Succession co-star Keiran Culkin earlier today, but the eternal eldest son is winning a lot of attention – and even some love – online for his outfit.

His aquamarine ensemble complete with white turtleneck and velvet bucket hat is spawning countless memes, with some comparing him to Jamiroquai, Hunter S Thompson, Marnie Michaels from Girls (there are surprsingly multiple posts on this? I guess it’s an energy he gives) and “Paddington’s cousin who sells coke”.

Obsessed.

More than two decades since his last nomination (he got a nod for The Pianist in 2003, but failed to take the win), Adrien Brody has won his first Golden Globe.

“There was a time not too long ago that I felt this was a moment that wouldn’t be afforded to me so thank you,” he said accepting the award. He also made a point of congratulating all fellow nominees including Timothee Chalamet and Ralph Fiennes, noting the film is a “triumph and monument to humanity and the arts”.

He also spoke to his mum and dad, who were in attendance. “I don’t fully know how to express all the challenges you have faced and the many people who have struggled in this country. I hope this work lifts you up and gives you a voice.”

A glimpse of his Oscars speech for March?

A tough night for Anora and Wicked! Emilia Perez takes out the final category for the night: best motion picture – musical or comedy. This was the film’s fourth win, out of 10 nominations.

With French director Jacqus Audiard unprepared to speak in English, one of the film’s stars, Karla Sofia Gascon, takes the mic. “I have a lot of things to say to you,” the transgender Spanish actor says.

Karla Sofia Gascón plays a Mexican drug lord undergoing gender affirming surgery.

“The light always wins over darkness … You can put us in jail, you can beat us up, but you can never take away our soul.

“I want to say to you, raise your voice … and say ‘I am who I am’, not who you want.”

If ever Brady Corbet was going to have a platform to make the case for the primacy of the Directorial Vision (™), this is it. And boy, he’s not going to waste it.

He said he had only prepared one speech, and he had already said what he wanted to say when accepting for best director. But everyone knows they never mean it when they say that sort of thing, and he was no exception.

“I want to leave everyone with something to think about,” he continued. “Final-cut tie-break goes to the director. It is a controversial statement but should not be. It should not be controversial at all.”

For the uninitiated, he was referring to who gets final say on which version of a film is distributed (often, that call rests with a producer or studio).

And for those unfamiliar with The Brutalist, it tells the story of a modernist architect who arrives in the US after the second world war, having survived the Holocaust, and his struggles to establish himself in his new country, and especially the difficult relationship with the wealthy industrialist (played by Guy Pearce) who becomes his patron and his nemesis.

Oh, and it is three and a half hours long – and after today, a virtually unbeatable Oscars favourite.

“I was told that this film was undistributable,” said Corbet. “I was told that no one would come out and see it. I was told the film would not work. And I don’t resent that,” he said.

“I want to use this as an opportunity to lift up filmmakers ... films do not exist without the filmmakers. Please, let’s support them, let’s prop them up. No one was asking for a three-and-a-half-hour film about a mid-century designer, on 70mm. But it works. So, please, just think about it. Have a great night. Thank you so much.”

The directors of the world salute you, Brady Corbet. Commissioners, broadcasters, exhibitors, distributors, and possibly a whole slew of potential audience members might have other thoughts on the subject.

The least known actor in the field, Brazil’s Fernanda Torres, wins best female actor in a motion picture drama for Brazilian drama I’m Still Here - dashing the hopes of Nicole Kidman (Babygirl). “This is such an amazing year for female performances,” Torres says.

“So many actresses here that I admire so much.” She dedicates to the award to her mother, Fernanda Montenegro, who won a Golden Globe for Central Station. In I’m Still Here, which is set in the 1970s, they play daughter and mother.

As well as Kidman, Torres beat Angelina Jolie (Maria), Kate Winslset (Lee), Pamela Anderson (The Last Showgirl) and Tilda Swinton (The Room Next Door).

Is there any stopping Shogun? Well, yes – it’s eventually going to run out of awards shows to sweep. But other than that, maybe not.

At these Globes it has won best male and female actor, and best supporting actor. And now, in winning the best TV drama award, it has cemented its place as the TV show of the year as far as Golden Globes voters are concerned.

Anna Sawai plays translator Lady Mariko in Shogun.

With a mighty sweep of its katana, it took out some serious competition, too: The Diplomat, Slow Horses, Squid Game, The Day of The Jackal, Mr & Mrs Smith.

As an aside, how are these series, as opposed to limited series? Or, if they are series because they were not in their first batch, how does that apply to Shogun? (OK, it was renewed for two more seasons last May, but it still feels a little arbitrary, right?)

At any rate, we probably shouldn’t be surprised that Shogun has been so dominant – after all, it won 18 Emmys last September, setting a new record for a show in a single season.

According to imdb.com. The series has been nominated for 80 awards in all, and has won 64. That’s a hell of a streak. And with two more series to come, it’s certain to continue.

Shogun has continued its run, with Anna Sawai taking out the award for best female actor in a TV drama series, off her first nomination.

“Thank you to the voters for voting for me, even though I would have voted for Kathy Bates any day,” Sawai said.

Bates was nominated for her role in Matlock. In the same category, Keira Knightley was nominated for Black Doves, and Keri Russell for The Diplomat, Maya Erskine for Mr & Mrs Smith and Emma D’Arcy for House of the Dragon.
