‘The Brutalist’ and ‘Emilia Perez’ triumph at Golden Globes
“Emilia Pérez,” a Spanish-language musical directed by Jacques Audiard, achieved significant recognition at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, winning Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. This marks the first time a non-English-language film has secured this award.
The film tells the story of a Mexican cartel leader who transitions into a woman, with Karla Sofía Gascón, a Spanish trans actress, portraying the lead role. Gascón made history as the first transgender actress nominated for a film acting category at the Golden Globes.
During the ceremony, Gascón delivered a powerful acceptance speech, stating, “You can put us in jail, you can beat us up. But you never can take away our soul or existence or identity.”
“Emilia Pérez” also received awards for Best Motion Picture (Non-English Language), Best Original Song (“El Mal”), and Best Supporting Actress for Zoe Saldaña.
