“The Brutalist,” Brady Corbet’s 215-minute postwar epic, was crowned best drama film at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday, putting one of 2024’s most ambitious films on course to be a major contender at the Academy Awards.

“The Brutalist,” shot in VistaVision and being released with an intermission, also won best director for Corbet and best actor for Adrian Brody. The film, about a Jewish artist in the aftermath of World War II, bears many connections to one of Brody’s most renown films, “The Pianist.”

“Final cut tie break goes to the director,” said Corbet. “No one was asking for a three-and-half-hour film about a mid-century designer in 70mm. But it works.”

The genre-shifting trans musical “Emilia Pérez” won best film, comedy, or musical, handing Jacques Audiard’s movie a major prize and elevating the Oscar chances of Netflix’s top Oscar contender. It also won best supporting actress for Zoe Saldaña, best song (“El Mal”) and best non-English language film. The French director Audiard said through an interpreter that he hoped the film is “a beacon of light” in dark times.

“I don’t have sisters, and maybe that’s why I made this film about sisterhood,” said Audiard. “If there were more sisters in the world, maybe it would be a better place.”
