The 83rd Golden Globes kicked off Sunday at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, hosted by Nikki Glaser. Brazilian film 'O Agente Secreto' by Kleber Mendonça Filho competes for best drama and best non-English language film, with Wagner Moura vying for best drama actor—Brazil's first triple nominations at the awards. The ceremony streams live on HBO Max, TNT, and Globo.
Host Nikki Glaser opened with sharp jokes, quipping about CBS News as 'the best U.S. channel for BS news' amid censorship allegations against Donald Trump, and referencing Jeffrey Epstein's list, wishing absent any listed celebrities.
Early winners included Stellan Skarsgård for best supporting actor in film ('Sentimental Value'), Noah Wyle for best drama series actor ('The Pitt'), and Rose Byrne for best actress in a comedy/musical film ('If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You'). Series wins went to 'Adolescence,' 'The Studio,' and 'Hacks,' while 'Battle After Battle' took best screenplay.
Building on its 54 prior awards—including Critics Choice Best International Film—'O Agente Secreto' faces stiff drama competition from 'Frankenstein' and 'Sinners,' non-English rivals from France, South Korea, and Norway, and Moura contends with Oscar Isaac and Dwayne Johnson. High expectations persist for Brazilian breakthroughs ahead of the Oscars.
