So far, “Emilia Perez,” the Spanish-language musical exploring trans identity, has gotten the most hardware, winning three Globes, including one for best song (“El Mal”).
But as much as the Globes change, the more they stay the same: the revised and expanded voting body aims to spread the love like its predecessor, with a wide range of other triumphant films. Brady Corbett won Best Director for “The Brutalist.” Peter Straughan collects a trophy for his “Conclave” screenplay. And Demi Moore (“The Substance”) won the Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical.
Few people take the Globes seriously as an artistic milestone. But the Globes have proven to be a decent predictor of the eventual winners at the Oscars. With this year’s Oscar race wide open, a win tonight could be extraordinarily impactful.
Early television wins went to “Shogun,” “Hex,” “Baby Reindeer,” “The Bear,” “True Detective: Night Country” and “The Penguin.”
Here’s what to know about the show:
-
These are All the winners so far.
-
Globes voters have so far focused on films that few Americans have seen. “Bahao,” about a cat on a journey of survival, won best animated film. It collected $2.6 million at the box office. (For comparison, the nominated “Inside Out 2” had $653 million in domestic ticket sales.) One exception: the blockbuster “Wicked” won at the cinemas and at the box office, one in its second year. There is an award.
-
Demi Moore won her first Globe. “I’m in shock right now,” she said as she picked up the trophy for best actress in a comedy for “The Substance.” “This is the first time I’ve won anything as an actor.”
-
The epic FX drama “Shogun” took home honors for Hiroyuko Sanada (best actor, repeating her Emmy win) and Tadanobu Asano (supporting actor, avenging her Emmy loss). Jane Smart won best actress in a comedy for the HBO Max series “Hacks,” while Jessica Gunning won best supporting actress in a TV series for Netflix’s “Baby Reindeer,” which won best limited. Also won for the series. An absent Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear” on FX) won best actor in a TV comedy.
-
In the ceremony’s first real surprise, Colin Farrell won the Globe for Best Actor in a Limited Series for his transformative performance in “The Penguin.” Richard Gade was expected to repeat his Emmy win for “Baby Reindeer.” Jodie Foster won her fifth Globe for the latest season of “True Detective.”
-
The show opened with Nicky Glazer’s light and airy monologue that marked a dramatic shift from the train wreck of an opener Joe Coy had last year. “Welcome to Ozempic’s Biggest Night,” he said. Glazer said in interviews before the ceremony that he had planned to keep his monologue light, and he did. Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni smear scandal. (As a first-time host, she explained, she wanted to be invited back.)
