Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres won the Golden Globe for the best actress in a movie drama for "I'm Still Here."
Torres, 59, was in the running against Pamela Anderson ("The Last Showgirl"), Angelina Jolie ("Maria"), Nicole Kidman ("Babygirl"), Tilda Swinton ("The Room Next Door") and Kate Winslet ("Lee").
Her mother Fernanda Montenegro was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1999 for “Central Station.”
"Emilia Pérez," a Spanish-language French musical crime drama that brought a record-setting 10 nominations into the evening, took home the awards for best motion picture/musical or comedy; best motion picture/non- English language; best supporting actress in any movie for Zoe Saldaña; and best original song in a movie for "El Mal."
The film tells the story of a drug cartel leader played by Karla Sofía Gascón, who hires a lawyer (Saldaña) to help Gascón's character fake her death so she can transition to being a woman and live as her genuine self. Gascón was the first transgender woman nominated for a performance by a female actor in a movie musical or comedy.
Gascón was nominated for best actress in that category, but she lost out to Demi Moore for Moore's role in "The Substance." Moore plays an aging actress who discovers a black-market drug that restores youth, but with all manner of side-effects and complications.
"The Brutalist," a 3 1/2-hour, post-World War II epic about a brilliant architect who escapes the Holocaust and pursues the American Dream in the U.S., won for best motion picture/drama, and also brought personal Golden Globes for Adrien Brody for best actor in a drama and Brady Corbet for best director in a motion picture.
FX/Hulu's "Shogun," a historical drama set in feudal 17th century Japan, swept all four of the categories in which it was nominated -- winning Globes for best TV drama series and also bringing personal trophies to Anna Sawai for best actress, Hiroyuki Sanada for best actor and Tadanobu Asano for best supporting actor.
"Hacks," a regular nominee on the awards circuit, won for best TV series/musical or comedy (beating out the previous winner, "The Bear") and also brought Jean Smart a best actress victory.
"Baby Reindeer," based on a true story by Richard Gadd detailing his experiences with a stalker, won the Golden Globe for best TV limited series, anthology series or motion picture made for television, and gave Jessica Gunning a best supporting actress win.
The 10 nominations for "Emilia Pérez" had made it the most nominated movie musical or comedy in Globes history, surpassing "Barbie" in 2023 and "Cabaret" in 1972.
