The Brutalist made waves at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, securing Best Drama and Best Actor for Adrien Brody’s haunting performance as a Hungarian Holocaust survivor. The film’s direction by Brady Corbet also earned praise, with the director recognizing the challenges of releasing a three-and-a-half-hour narrative about a mid-century designer. This early success marks the film as a contender for the upcoming Academy Awards.
In the realm of musical and comedic films, Emilia Perez took center stage, winning four major categories, including Best Musical or Comedy and Best Non-English Language Film. The film’s exploration of a Mexican drug lord’s transition to a woman made a significant cultural statement, further amplified by Zoe Saldana’s Best Supporting Actress win.

The night also saw Wicked and Baby Reindeer picking up awards, with Shōgun dominating the TV categories. These results set the stage for an exciting race to the Oscars.
The Golden Globe 2025 results signify a transformative year for many in Hollywood, from career revivals like Demi Moore’s to cultural breakthroughs with Emilia Perez.
