Demi Moore also triumphs in actress category while ‘Shogun’ and ‘Hacks’ win top TV honours at 82nd Golden Globes.
Epic immigrant drama “The Brutalist” and surreal narco-musical “Emilia Perez” are big winners at this year’s Golden Globes as prizes have been shared widely across an international crop of films.
“The Brutalist” was crowned best film, drama, at the year’s first major showbiz awards gala on Sunday, putting it on course to be a major contender at the Academy Awards. It also picked up best actor for Adrien Brody, who plays a Hungarian Holocaust survivor.
Meanwhile, French director Jacques Audiard’s Mexico-set “Emilia Perez” took four prizes, including best comedy or musical film.
“Emilia Perez”, about a drug lord who transitions to life as a woman, had entered the night with the most nominations at 10. It won for best non-English language film and best original song, while Zoe Saldana took best supporting actress honours, nudging out her co-star Selena Gomez.
“You can maybe put us in jail, you can beat us up, but you never can take away our soul, our resistance, our identity,” said Karla Sofia Gascon, the film’s star, who is transgender.
