The 2024 Golden Globe Awards were held on Sunday, with the Spanish-language musical "Emilia Pérez" and the drama film "The Brutalist" emerging as the big winners. "Emilia Pérez" won four awards, including Best Comedy or Musical Film, Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña, and Best Non-English Language Film. The film's director, Jacques Audiard, accepted the award with the assistance of a French translator, stating, "In these troubled times, I hope 'Emilia Pérez' will be a beacon of light."

On the other hand, "The Brutalist," a three-and-a-half-hour film about a Hungarian architect, took home three awards, including Best Drama Film, Best Actor for Adrien Brody, and Best Director for Brady Corbet. Other notable winners included Demi Moore, who received the award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her performance in the body horror film "The Substance," and Kieran Culkin, who won Best Supporting Actor for his role in "A Real Pain." Sebastian Stan was named Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for "A Different Man," while Irish actor Colin Farrell won his third Golden Globe for portraying the Batman villain Penguin.

In her acceptance speech, Demi Moore shared that she had been labeled a "popcorn actress" and doubted she would receive recognition for her work. However, she noted that the success of "The Substance" had revitalized her career and proven her critics wrong. Zoe Saldaña, who took home the award for Best Supporting Actress for "Emilia Pérez," expressed her gratitude and felt blessed to share the moment with her fellow nominees.

The Golden Globes serve as the first major ceremony in the film awards season, which will culminate with the Oscars on March 2. A win at the Golden Globes can significantly elevate a film's profile at a crucial moment when BAFTA and Oscar voters are preparing to fill out their nomination ballots. Other notable winners included "Wicked," which received the Box Office Achievement Prize, and "Flow," a Latvian animated film that won the award for Best Animated Feature.
