Did Jacques Audiard plan to make space on his shelves? It will be necessary because her musical odyssey “Emilia Pérez” won the prize across the Atlantic by obtaining four statuettes, during the 82nd Golden Globes ceremony, which was held on Sunday January 5 in California. Nominated in ten categories, the French filmmaker's unclassifiable feature film won the prize for best comedy, but also those for best international film, best supporting actress for Zoe Saldaña, and best song for French artists Camille and Clément Ducol, who composed the original soundtrack. A triumph synonymous with a springboard for the next Oscars? Jacques Audiard preferred to savor the present moment when he went on stage to collect his trophy: “Tonight it’s very nice, it’s very good. And then I’m so happy that Zoe received an award”.
Demi Moore crowned for her role in “The Substance”
“Emilia Pérez” shares this recognition with “The Brutalist”, a portrait of a Holocaust survivor architect trying to rebuild his life in the United States, which received three awards, including best dramatic film. His actor Adrian Brody was also crowned. “In shock”Demi Moore won her award for best actress in a comedy for her performance in another French film, The Substance, directed by Coralie Fargeat.
A surprise called “Hacks”
In television, the series “Shõgun” crushed the competition after its raid at the last Emmy Awards. This historical fresco in feudal Japan, released on Disney+, won four awards: best drama series, actor, actress and supporting role. On the comedies side, “Hacks” (HBO Max) played spoilsport by dominating “The Bear” (Disney+), ogre of previous ceremonies. Only the main actor in this culinary fiction, Jeremy Allen, did not return from California empty-handed with a third consecutive acting prize.
