In terms of wins, The Brutalist, which had seven nominations, won for Best Motion Picture—Drama; its lead, Adrien Brody, won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture—Drama; and its director, Brady Corbet, won Best Director—Motion Picture.
Meanwhile, Emilia Pérez won four awards, including the prize for Best Motion Picture—Non-English Language. Plus, Shōgun took home all four awards it was nominated for, including Best Television Series—Drama.
However, the biggest winner of the night may have been Demi Moore, who won Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy thanks to her work in The Substance. During her emotional speech, Moore noted that the award was the first acting accolade she’s had.
“I’ve been doing this a long time—over 45 years,” she said. “This is the first time I’ve ever won anything as an actor.”

In other words, the speech had substance. And Moore will look to continue that momentum on her way to the Oscars.
