CBC
Post-war epic The Brutalist and genre-shifting trans musical Emilia Pérez were big winners at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards.
The Brutalist won best drama film, as well as best director for Brady Corbet and best actor for Adrien Brody.
"No one was asking for a three-and-half-hour film about a mid-century designer in 70mm. But it works," Corbet said in his acceptance speech.
Jacques Audiard's musical Emilia Pérez, about a Mexican drug lord who undergoes gender-affirming surgery to become a woman, led the way this year with 10 nominations and took home best film, as well as best supporting actress for Zoe Saldaña, best song (El Mal) and best non-English language film. French director Audiard said through an interpreter that he hoped the film is "a beacon of light" in dark times.

Demi Moore's win for best actress in a comedy or musical was one of the night's biggest surprises. Her comeback performance in body-horror film The Substance, about a Hollywood star who resorts to an experimental process to regain her youth, landed the 62-year-old Moore her first Globe — a victory that came over the heavily favoured Mikey Madison of Anora.
"I'm just in shock right now. I've been doing this a long time, like over 45 years, and this is the first thing I've ever won as an actor," said Moore.
