‘The Brutalist’ Wins Big at Golden Globes, Boosting Oscar Prospects

Brady Corbet’s ambitious drama, starring Adrien Brody, claims three major awards and expands its theatrical release following critical acclaim.

The Brutalist won Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director for Brady Corbet, and Best Actor – Drama for Adrien Brody at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards.
The film, a 3-hour 35-minute epic about a Holocaust survivor and architect navigating post-war America, has drawn comparisons to Oppenheimer for its scope and technical ambition.
Director Brady Corbet emphasized the challenges of creating the independently financed film, which was shot in VistaVision on a budget under $10 million.
Adrien Brody's performance as László Tóth reflects his personal connection to his family's immigrant history, which he highlighted in his acceptance speech.
Following its awards success, the film is expanding to more U.S. theaters and will release widely on January 24, with a streaming debut on Max expected later in 2025.
