In his emotional acceptance speech, Corbet dedicated his win to late filmmaker Jeff Baena, paying tribute to his mentorship.
Brody, who previously lost a Golden Globe for The Pianist, expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity. "This film is a monument to humanity and the arts," he said, his voice cracking with emotion. "I never thought this moment would come again, but here we are."
Emilia Pérez, the Netflix crime musical about sisterhood, swept the night with Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña, Best Original Song for the track "El Mal," and Best Foreign-Language Motion Picture. Director Jacques Audiard, in his acceptance speech, touched on the importance of sisterhood, noting, "If there were more sisters in the world, it might be a better place."
Shōgun, the epic television series based on the historical novel, continued its dominance from the Emmys, winning Best Television Series - Drama. Anna Sawai's stellar performance as Lady Mariko earned her the Best Actress in a Television Series - Drama award, a first Golden Globe for the talented Japanese actress. Sawai humbly thanked the voters, jokingly adding, "I'd vote for Kathy Bates any day!"
