Highlights from the 2023 Golden Globe Awards: Emilia Pérez and Shōgun Shine
In the early hours of January 6, the entertainment industry gathered to celebrate the Golden Globe Awards, honoring the best in cinema and television. This year's ceremony, held under the auspices of the newly established nonprofit Golden Globe foundation, saw the musical film 'Emilia Pérez' and the TV series 'Shōgun' emerge as major winners, each securing four prestigious awards.
'Emilia Pérez', a Netflix musical that garnered ten nominations, took home awards for Best Musical or Comedy Film, Best Supporting Actress awarded to Zoe Saldaña, Best Original Song, and Best Non-English Language Film. Following closely was 'The Brutalist', a stirring drama featuring Adrien Brody as a Hungarian Jewish architect who survived the concentration camps. This film secured three accolades, including Best Drama Film, Best Actor for Brody, and Best Director for Brady Corbet.
On the television front, 'Shōgun', a remake of the iconic 1980s series set in 17th-century Japan, also made a significant impact, winning four awards: Best Drama Series, Best Actor in a Drama Series (Hiroyuki Sanada), Best Actress in a Drama Series (Anna Sawai), and Best Supporting Actor in a Series (Tadanobu Asano).
Other notable mentions include 'Baby Reindeer', a limited series on Netflix based on a true stalking story, which received the award for Best Limited Series. In the comedy realm, 'Hacks' claimed the title of Best Comedy or Musical Series. Kieran Culkin brought home the award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 'A Real Pain', while Demi Moore was recognized as Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Film for her performance in 'The Substance'.
This year’s ceremony also shed light on Italian entries, with 'Vermiglio', directed by Maura Delpero and representing Italy for the Best International Film Oscar, nominated for Best Foreign Film, which ultimately went to 'Emilia Pérez'. 'Challengers', directed by Luca Guadagnino, was nominated for Best Musical or Comedy Film but won in the category of Best Score, thanks to the remarkable work of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Notably, this edition of the Golden Globes marks the second ceremony conducted by the nonprofit Golden Globe foundation, following a series of controversies that had diminished the reputation of the previous organizer, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).
