What to know about the 82nd Golden Globes:

  • FX’s “Shōgun,” a sweeping saga set in feudal Japan, took home four awards, including best TV series (drama), making it the biggest small-screen winner of the night. Netflix’s “Emilia Pérez," a genre-busting song-and-dance spectacle about a Mexican drug cartel boss who undergoes gender-affirming surgery, also took home four awards.
  • Demi Moore delivered a powerful acceptance speech after she won her first major industry award for her role in "The Substance." "Thirty years ago I had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress, and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something I allowed to have," she said.
  • A24's "The Brutalist," a sweeping epic about the postwar immigrant experience, took home three awards, including best drama film and best actor to Adrien Brody. In the TV categories, "Hacks" and "Baby Reindeer" were also honored. Read the complete list of winners here.
  • Emmy- and Grammy-nominated stand-up comedian Nikki Glaser made her debut as Globes emcee, roasting Hollywood's top stars, including Timothée Chalamet, during her opening monologue.

'Emilia Pérez' star: 'Light always wins over darkness'

Karla Sofía Gascón, who plays the title character in “Emilia Pérez,” addressed viewers onstage after the musical won the final award of the night: best film (musical/comedy).

Gascón, who made history as the first openly transgender woman to be nominated for a Globe for a leading film role, said she wore an orange gown to share a message to viewers.

"The light always wins over darkness," she said. “You can maybe put us in jail. You can beat us up. But you never can take away our soul, our resistance, our identity."

'The Brutalist' nabs three Globes, locking in Oscar credentials

"The Brutalist" now appears to have the edge over "Conclave" in the race for best picture at the Oscars in March.

The film, a three-and-a-half-hour epic about the postwar Jewish immigrant experience and the trauma of the Holocaust, earned three trophies tonight: best drama film, best director (for Brady Corbet, who co-wrote the project with his partner, Mona Fastvold) and best actor (Adrian Brody).

In his acceptance speech, Corbet said he was told that "The Brutalist" was "undistributable" and that "no one would come out and see it." He said the critical success of the film serves as a reminder that the industry should take chances on bold and unorthodox projects.

"Final cut tiebreak goes to the director," Corbet said.

Brody could be looking at a second Oscar

Adrien Brody, tonight's winner for best actor in a drama for his role as a war-scarred architect in "The Brutalist," looks poised for a second Academy Award in March — more than 20 years after he triumphed for "The Pianist," another searing drama about an artist who survives the Holocaust.

Brody, in his acceptance speech, nodded to his fellow nominees and praised them for reaching "such heights" in their film work. He also paid tearful tribute to his parents and ancestors.

"I owe so much to my mother and grandparents for their sacrifice," Brody said. "Although I do not know fully how to express fully all the challenges that you have faced and experienced, and the many people who have struggled immigrating to this country, I hope that this work stands to lift you up a bit and to give you a voice. I’m so grateful. I will cherish this moment forever."
