Brady Corbet wins best director for "The Brutalist"

Brady Corbet won the Golden Globe for best director for "The Brutalist."

This is Corbet's first win and his first nomination.

In his acceptance speech, Corbet called the honor "extraordinarily meaningful for a film like this, that once, a few short months ago, had the odds very much stacked against it."

"I would also be remiss not to mention that I am humbled to be in such excellent company: filmmakers I genuinely admire," he added.

Other nominees in the category included Jacques Audiard for "Emilia Pérez," Sean Baker for "Anora," Edward Berger for "Conclave," Coralie Fargeat for "The Substance" and Payal Kapadia for "All We Imagine as Light."


Sebastian Stan wins best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy)

Sebastian Stan won the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (musical or comedy) for "A Different Man."

This is Stan's first Golden Globe win.

In his speech, Stan thanked his co-star Adam Pearson and director Aaron Schimberg and said that he shared the award with them.

"Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now," he said. "We have to normalize it and continue to expose ourselves to it and our children, encourage acceptance. One way we can do that is by continuing to champion stories that are inclusive."

"This was not an easy movie to make," he continued. "Neither is 'The Apprentice,' the other film that I was lucky to be a part of and that I am proud to be in. These are tough subject matters, but these films are real, and they are necessary, and we can't be afraid and look away."

At the end of his speech, Stan dedicated his award to his mom, who he said left Romania "in search of a better life and gave me everything," as well as his stepfather, who he said "took on a single mom and a grown-up kid."

Other nominees in the category included Jesse Eisenberg for "A Real Pain," Hugh Grant for "Heretic," Gabriel LaBelle for "Saturday Night," Jesse Plemons for "Kinds of Kindness" and Glen Powell for "Hit Man."

Stan is also nominated for best performance by a male actor in a motion picture (drama) for "The Apprentice."
