"The Brutalist," the story of a Holocaust survivor chasing the American dream, and the musical thriller "Emilia Perez" were the big winners of Hollywood's awards season at the Golden Globes on Sunday.
Golden Globes voters named "The Brutalist" best motion picture drama and star Adrien Brody as best actor in a motion picture drama. The film also won the best director award for Brady Corbet. Brody, who plays an architect trying to build a life in the United States, called the film "a monument to humanity and the arts."
“This story is really, the character's journey very reminiscent of my mother's and my great grandparents' journey to escape the horrors of war and come to this great country. I owe a lot to my mother and my grandparents. For their sacrifice. And although I don't know how to fully express all the challenges you have faced and experienced and the many people who have struggled to immigrate to this country", said Brody, reports A2.
Netflix's crime musical Emilia Pérez, the night's top nominee, took home four awards, including best musical or comedy, best supporting actress for Zoe Saldana, original song and best foreign film. . The film broadcast by Netflix and which counted 10 nominations, focuses on the gender transition of a Mexican drug trafficker. The main protagonist dedicated the victory to "all those who feel worried today".
"Light always wins over darkness. And I have a lot to say because you could probably put us in jail. You can beat us. But you can never take away our spirit, our resistance, our identity. And I want to tell you, raise your voice, and say: I am what I am, not what you want", said Karla Sofia Gascon.
Demi Moore admitted that she was afraid of becoming an aging actress and thanked the French, as she said "for this magical, brave and completely crazy script". "I am shocked. I have been acting for a long time, over 45 years, and this is the first time I have won anything as an actress," she said.
The "Golden Globes" single out comedies and dramas in the awards given being reformed in recent years, after the big scandal revealed in 2021 on the corruption and racism of the members. The jury has expanded significantly, with over 200 new names from around the world.
