Golden Globes 2025 full winners list: The Brutalist and Emilia Perez win best picture prizes

The awards season began with a host of non-English language wins across both the film and television categories

Awards season 2025 has officially kicked off, with the 82nd annual Golden Globes giving its top honours to The Brutalist and Emilia Perez.

The Brutalist, by director Brady Corbet, took home Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director, and Best Actor – Drama for Adrian Brody.

Emilia Perez, meanwhile, won Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language and Best Original Song, with Zoe Saldana taking home the supporting actress prize.

The two best picture winners are together a sign of a changing film scene, with viewers from across the world engaging far more with challenging and international fare than in years past.

Corbet remarked in his acceptance speech for best picture that the film, which is more than three and a half hours long and features an intermission, was deemed "undistributable" and overcame numerous hurdles in production.

"Films don’t exist without the filmmakers. Please let’s support them – let’s prop them up. No one was asking for a three-and-a-half-hour film about a mid-century designer on 70mm. But it works," said Corbet.

Emilia Perez, meanwhile, is a Spanish-language French musical, which beat nominees including Wicked, Anora and Challengers to win the top prize in its category.

Numerous non-English language performances also emerged victorious, including Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres, who took home the best actress in a drama award, for I'm Still Here. Meanwhile, in the television categories, three Japanese-language performances won for the hit Disney+ series Shogun, Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai and Tadanobu Asano. Flow, a Latvian fantasy adventure film, won best animated film.

And while the Middle East and India were largely shut out, with Seed of a Sacred Fig, All We Imagine as Light, and Egyptian-American comedian Ramy Youssef going home empty handed, there were clear signs that the spotlight is now shining across the world.
