Golden Globes Recap

by Kathia Woods

The 82nd Golden Globes, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser in Beverly Hills, California, saw Demi Moore, Zoe Saldaña, Kieran Culkin, and Adrien Brody among the winners. The queer musical-thriller "Emilia Pérez" dominated the film categories with four wins out of ten nominations, including Best Supporting Actress for Saldaña and Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy. "The Brutalist" secured three awards, including Best Motion Picture, Drama and Best Actor for Adrien Brody. In the television categories, FX's "Shōgun" swept all four of its nominated categories, with acting awards for Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai, and Tadanobu Asano. "Hacks" and "Baby Reindeer" also received two awards each.

Fernanda Torres, the Brazilian actress, secured a surprise win for lead actress in a motion picture drama at the Golden Globes. Her performance in "I'm Still Here" earned her the award over notable nominees Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, Tilda Swinton, and Pamela Anderson.

“My God, I didn’t prepare anything,” Torres said, scanning the audience from the stage. “This is such an amazing year for female performances. So many actresses here that I admire so much.”

Fernanda Montenegro was nominated for best actress in a motion picture, drama, in 1999 for "Central Station," which also earned her an Oscar nod. Her daughter, Fernanda Montenegro, won the same award for "I'm Still Here," in which Montenegro, now 95, appears as the older version of Eunice. This victory made her the first Brazilian actress to win a Golden Globe in this category.

“She was here 25 years ago, and this is proof that art can endure through life, even in difficult moments like this,” Torres said of her win. She added that “I’m Still Here” is a film “that can helps us to think how to survive in tough times.”
