BEVERLY HILLS – Hollywood’s awards season is off and running. The Golden Globes are first out of the gate.

“The Brutalist,” a historical epic that examines the post-war immigrant experience, and “Emilia Pérez,” a musical about a drug lord who undergoes gender-affirming surgery, won top honors at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

“Emilia Pérez,” named best musical or comedy, led all films with four wins, while “The Brutalist,” which received the prize for best drama, was close behind with three victories.

“Sh?gun,” a lavish historical saga set in feudal Japan that became a streaming smash for FX and Hulu, dominated the TV prizes, scoring four awards including for best TV drama. “Baby Reindeer,” Richard Gadd’s semi-autobiographical look at his experience with a stalker, was named best limited series, anthology or TV movie, one of two honors bestowed to the Netflix show. “Hacks,” the story of a stand-up legend and her prodigy, was another double winner, most notably picking up the prize for best TV series – musical or comedy.


“The Brutalist” star Adrien Brody, who plays a brilliant architect struggling to build his masterwork, was named best actor in a drama, while Brady Corbet, who spent seven years laboring to bring the three-hour-plus film to the screen, won for best director.
