The 82nd Golden Globes ceremony is held in the United States on the night of Saturday to Sunday. The film “Emilia Pérez”, by Frenchman Jacques Audiard, is one of the big favorites of this edition, with ten nominations.
Favorite of the Golden Globes, will “Emilia Pérez” complete its transformation into the big winner? This is the whole point of the ceremony which is being held on Sunday January 5 for Jacques Audiard’s musical odyssey on the gender transition of a Mexican drug trafficker.
The French filmmaker’s film has ten nominations, notably in the categories of best comedy, best director, best actress for Karla Sofía Gascón in the title role, best supporting actress for Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez, and best screenplay.
With a record number of nominations for a musical, this film awarded at Cannes and broadcast by Netflix “is the big favorite, by far”, reminds AFP Pete Hammond, of the specialist site Deadline.
Filmed mainly in Spanish, the feature film also competes in the categories of best international film, best soundtrack, and best song – two nominations. Its harvest will give an indication of its potential for the Oscars in March.
“Anora”, the great rival
Already fierce on the comedy side, the competition is just as fierce on the drama side.
