In a night filled with awards and glamor, the 82nd annual Golden Globes Awards honored standout excellence and achievements in film and television. Here is a closer look at the winners who lit up the evening and which ones took home multiple awards.
“Emilia Perez” was undoubtedly the most successful project this year, winning four awards: Best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture, Supporting Actress, Foreign Language film. Actress, Karla Sofia Gascon, who was the first trans woman to be nominated for Best Actress, delivered an inspiring speech for all members of a marginalized community.
“The light always wins over darkness,” Gascón said. “You can maybe put us in jail, you can beat us up, but you never can take away our soul, or our resistance, or our dignity.”
Another very successful film that took the stage was “The Brutalist, a film about an architect that flees post-war Europe. It was nominated for seven awards and won three: Best Motion Picture, Best Performance by a Male Actor and Best director. Director Brady Corbet spoke about the finances of the movie in his second speech after being awarded Best Director.
“I was told that this film was un-distributable,” Corbet said. “I was told that no one would come out and see it. I was told the film wouldn’t work. No one was asking for a three-and-a-half hour film about a mid-century designer on 70 millimeter. The film was independently financed, with a budget of $10 million.”
“Shogun” was the most successful television show that night, winning four awards: Best Television Series, Best Actor Performance in a Television series, Best Male Supporting Actor Performance TV series and Best Female Supporting Actor Performance in a TV series. “Shogun” was awarded for its authenticity and accuracy to Japanese culture. Tadanobu Asano, who won Best Male Supporting Actor in a TV series, commented during his speech.
“This award is such a tremendous gift to me. I am honored to have been part of such a remarkable production that showcases the beauty and complexity of Japan’s history,” Asano said.
The night was not only taken away by the award winners, but it was also a historic breakthrough in the annual ceremony, with Nikki Glaser becoming the first solo female host. She spoke in an interview with talk show, The View.
“It’s such an honor. It’s a lot of work. It’s a tough room for comedy. I mean, the Oscars are even more tough,” Glaser said.
