The Golden Globes are a social affair with occasional breaks for awards.

Hollywood got dressed up as the Golden Globes returned for its annual champagne-soaked celebration of film and television workers at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

Two wildly audacious films — Brady Corbet’s 215-minute postwar epic “The Brutalist” and Jacques Audiard’s Spanish language, genre-shifting trans musical “Emilia Perez” — have won top honors at the 82nd Golden Globes.

Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist” emerged less like a new film worth checking out than a movie colossus to behold.

“Anora,” Sean Baker’s odyssey of a New York stripper, and Jane Schoenbrun’s psychological horror “I Saw the TV Glow” dominated nominations for the Film Independent Spirit Awards with six nods each, including best feature and best director.

Brady Corbet’s 3 1/2-hour postwar epic “The Brutalist” won best film from the New York Film Critics Circle on Tuesday, while its lead, Adrien Brody, also won best actor.

The low-budget movie “Hundreds of Beavers” has turned into a lo-fi legend.

Pedro Almodóvar’s “The Room Next Door” won the Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion award Saturday.

“The Brutalist,” a three-hour post-war epic about a Holocaust survivor architect rebuilding a life in America, is a fantasy.
