Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered for the official start of awards season at the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night, recognizing major achievements in both television and film.

It was an evening full of big wins, both expected and unexpected, with a brand new host and plenty of unforgettable outfits. Stars like Timothée Chalamet, Melissa McCarthy, Dakota Fanning, Zendaya and Elton John all gave their best. Vin Diesel even welcomed Dwayne Johnson.

Here are the key takeaways from the ceremony.

“Emilia Pérez” and “The Brutalist” dominated the film awards

After ten nominations, it was clear that the Golden Globes liked Netflix’s unconventional Spanish-language musical crime drama – and the four awards, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, showed that. My colleague Taryn Ryder reported that, above all, that Audience at the Beverly Hilton was thrilled by the film.

The brutalist entered the ceremony with seven nominations and won three, including Best Motion Picture – Drama.. It’s also unconventional in its length – 3 hours and 35 minutes, with a rare intermission.

Both films have been well received at film festivals throughout the year, and after the first major awards show of the season, they are the ones to beat for future awards.

The TV winners looked a lot like the Emmys

If you watched the 2024 Emmy Awards in September, you already know most of the television honorees at the Golden Globes. Hacks, baby reindeer And Shogun All won top honors in their categories at both ceremonies.

Many of the acting awards also went to the same people, such as Anna Sawai, Hiroyuki Sanada, Jodie Foster, Jessica Gunning, Jeremy Allen White and Jean Smart.

The way awards are categorized varies slightly between ceremonies, as the Emmys have time for more winners since they focus solely on television. At the Golden Globes, for example, Jessica Gunning won for Best Performance by a Female Actress in a Supporting Role on Television, which spans all genres. She won Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie at the Emmys. Both awards went to the same supporting role in the limited series Baby reindeer.

A key difference between the ceremonies was Colin Farrell’s Golden Globe win for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Television Movie. He played the main role the penguin, which didn’t air in time to be nominated for the 2024 Emmys.

The stage is set for the Oscar race

Since this is the first major awards show before the Oscars, the actors taking home trophies came as a surprise to many. Zoe Saldaña, Kieran Culkin, Demi Moore, Fernanda Torres and Adrien Brody are all now frontrunners. They gave emotional speeches – although Culkin’s predominant emotion was humor.

There were also a few notable snubs. Angelina Jolie was expected to receive the award for Best Performance by a Female Actress in a Motion Picture Drama, but the trophy went to Fernanda Torres. The critical darling Anora was completely excluded, and the ever-popular one Evil won an award for film and box office results. The wild robot It was expected to win the Best Animated Film award, but lost to the Latvian film without dialogues Flow.

Nikki Glaser is a true awards presenter

From her hilarious monologue to a series of impressive outfit changes, Nikki Glaser is earning rave reviews for her performance as the ceremony’s host.

She got Adam Sandler to join in when she made a parody copy of him Evil And conclave with a short rendition of a song called “Pope-ular” and roasted celebrity culture to the delight of the audience and the internet.

It’s a notoriously tough job, but the consensus seems to be that she’s done it.
