The 2025 Golden Globes belonged to Emilia Pérez and The Brutalist. The two films combined to win seven awards, with Emilia Pérez taking home four and The Brutalist earning three. Emilia Pérez, Netflix’s French crime musical, won best musical or comedy, best supporting actress (Zoe Saldaña), best non-English language film, and best original song (El Mal). In the dramatic categories, The Brutalist won best drama, best director (Brady Corbet), and best actor (Adrien Brody).

The acting categories provided several genuine surprises, including wins by Fernanda Torres for best actress in a drama and Sebastian Stan for best actor in a musical or comedy. Demi Moore became a legitimate threat to win the Oscar after her excellent acceptance speech for best actress in a musical or comedy.

The Brutalist director Brady Corbet faces backlash for AI, issues statement
A man holds a bouqet of flowers in The Brutalist.

One of the contenders at the 2025 Oscars now faces a major controversy. The Brutalist, one of the most championed movies of 2024, is facing backlash for its use of AI.

Over the weekend, Red Shark News published an interview with editor Dávid Jancsó, who revealed The Brutalist used AI tools from the Ukrainian special Respeecher to make small tweaks to the Hungarian dialogue spoken by Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones. Jancsó also mentioned how AI was used to make the architectural designs and buildings in The Brutalist's closing sequence.
The AI news has sparked outrage within the film community, with some suggesting The Brutalist should be disqualified from awards contention. Director Brady Corbet released a statement to clarify the AI use, stating the actors' portrayals are "completely their own" and that the AI "preserved the authenticity" of said performances.
