A Film Triumph: Brady Corbet's Plea for Filmmakers

At the 2025 Golden Globes, "The Brutalist" director Brady Corbet received two awards, including Best Drama Movie. Corbet used his acceptance speeches to advocate for filmmaker autonomy. He emphasized that the final cut of a film should belong to the director, noting that his own movie faced skepticism. Corbet's film, about a mid-century architect, was initially deemed un-distributable. However, it won three Golden Globes, including Best Actor for Adrien Brody. Corbet encouraged support for all filmmakers, highlighting that films wouldn't exist without their vision. Other nominees included "Conclave" and "Dune: Part Two. " Corbet expressed gratitude for the Golden Globes' recognition, admitting that the film's odds were once stacked against it. The ceremony was hosted by Nikki Glaser and aired live on CBS and Paramount+.
