Demi Moore has made a triumphant return to the Golden Globes, winning best actress for a role in a body horror which has revitalised her career.
The 62-year-old gave an impassioned speech as she collected her award, telling the audience she was “at a low point” in her career before being cast in The Substance.
Moore said the award was a celebration of “the gift of doing something I love and being reminded that I do belong”.
Other film winners included Emilia Pérez, The Brutalist and Wicked, while Baby Reindeer and Shōgun won the big TV prizes.
One of the night’s big surprises was Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres winning best drama actress for her tremendous performance in I’m Still Here, which held off competition from Hollywood A-listers Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman.
Moore said she was “in shock” after winning in such a competitive category, which also included Anora star Mikey Madison, Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo, and Emilia Pérez star Karla Sofía Gascón.
“I’ve been doing this a long time, over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor,” she said.
“Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress and at that time, I made that mean that [awards] weren’t something that I was allowed to have, that I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn’t be acknowledged,” Moore said in her acceptance speech.
“I bought in, and I believed that, and that corroded me over time, to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it, maybe I was complete. I’ve done what I was supposed to do.
“And as I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance, and the universe told me that you’re not done.”
Emilia Pérez, a Spanish-language musical about a Mexican drug lord who changes gender, won four awards, making it the top film winner.
Accepting the prize for best musical or comedy film, trans actress Karla Sofía Gascón told the audience: “I want to say to you, raise your voice, and say, ‘I am who I am, not who you want’.”
Her co-star Zoe Saldaña was named best supporting actress, telling the crowd in an energetic acceptance speech that her “heart is full of gratitude”.
“I’m so blessed to be sharing this moment with my fellow nominees,” she said. “I know this is a competition but all I have witnessed is just us showing up for each other and celebrating each other and it’s just so beautiful.”
The film also won best original song and best non-English language film. Accepting the latter prize, director Jacques Audiard said: “In these troubled times I hope Emilia Perez will be a beacon of light.”
The Brutalist, a three-and-a-half hour film about a Hungarian architect who builds a new life in the US after World War Two, won three prizes, including best drama film, and best actor for Adrien Brody.
Brady Corbet was named best director, and acknowledged in his acceptance speech that the film wasn’t a traditional proposition.
Nobody was asking for a three-and-a-half hour film about a mid-century designer,” he joked.
“I was told that this film was un-distributable, that no-one would come out and see it, that the film wouldn’t work, and I don’t resent that.
“But I want to use this as an opportunity to lift up filmmakers… Films don’t exist without the filmmakers. Please let’s support the filmmakers, let’s prop them up.”
Sebastian Stan was named best actor in a musical or comedy for A Different Man, which sees him play a character who drastically changes his appearance.
“Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now, we have to normalise it and continue to expose ourselves to it, and our children, encourage acceptance.”
Kieran Culkin held off competition from his Succession co-star Jeremy Strong to win best supporting actor for his performance in A Real Pain, about two cousins who travel across Poland in memory of their grandmother.
“The first ever acknowledgement I got as an actor was a Golden Globe nomination when I was basically a kid,” Culkin recalled. “Now, it’s like the best date night my wife and I ever have.”
Wicked missed out on the major categories, but took home the box office achievement prize, following in the footsteps of Barbie’s win last year.
Accepting the award, Wicked’s director Jon M Chu paid tribute to the movie and stage musical’s loyal fanbase.
“This is for you, the fans out there, who came to the movie theatres, brought your friends and family, we saw your videos, your singalongs, your make-up, hair products, bakery items,” he said.
“It shows us how important making this stuff is, in a time when pessimism and cynicism rule the planet, that we can still make art that is a radical act of optimism.”
There was a surprise but welcome winner in the animated feature category, which saw box office juggernauts The Wild Robot and Inside Out 2 beaten by Flow, a film about animals who must work together to survive following a flood.
“This film was made by a very small, young, but passionate team, in a place where there isn’t a big film industry, so this is the first time a film from Latvia has been here so this is huge for us,” said director Gints Zilbalodis.
Torres became the first Brazilian actress to win the award for best drama actress, an award which her mother, Fernanda Montenegro, was also nominated for in 1999.
“This is such an amazing year for female performances,” Torres said. “I want to dedicate this to my mother – she was here 25 years ago, and this is proof that art can endure through life.”
Shōgun was the big winner in the TV categories, taking home four prizes including best drama series.
Other TV winners included The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White, True Detective’s Jodie Foster, and Hacks star Jean Smart.
Baby Reindeer was named best limited series, which was accepted by its writer and creator Richard Gadd.
“A lot of people ask me why a show this dark has gone on to be the success that it has,” he said. “And I think in a lot of ways, people were crying out for something that spoke to the painful inconsistencies of being human.
“For a while there’s been this belief in television that stories which are too dark and complicated won’t sell and no-one will watch them, so I hope Baby Reindeer has done away with that theory, because right now, when the world’s in the state that it’s in and people are really struggling, we need stories which speak to the complicated and difficult nature of our times.”
British actress Jessica Gunning was named best TV supporting actress for her portrayal as a stalker in the hit Netflix series.
In her acceptance speech, Gunning shared an anecdote about getting a hamster for Christmas as a child, and thinking that she couldn’t believe it was happening to her. She said that phrase had become the “soundtrack of my life this year”.
“Thank you to Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer has changed my life in ways that I can’t even explain. I can’t believe this is happening to me,” she repeated, “and I know that eight-year-old me wouldn’t either, she’d be chuffed to bits.”
Irish actor Colin Farrell won his third Golden Globe, for playing the Batman villain Penguin in an HBO series of the same name.
On stage, he joked that he had “no one to thank” and “did it all by myself”.
Recalling the three hours it took to fit him with prosthetics to make him the bloated villain in his latest film, he said: “In the morning, I drank black coffee, listened to 80s music, and I became a canvas for that team’s brilliance.”
Farrell also said: “Thank you for employing me. And yeah, I guess it’s prosthetics from here on out.”
