Colin Farrell wins third Golden Globe as Demi Moore makes emotional speech after long-awaited win

Last night marked Farrell’s third Golden Globe win, and saw fellow Irish actor Andrew Scott nominated for the same category.

COLIN FARRELL WON a Golden Globe last night for his role as the title character in the DC Comics TV adaptation The Penguin.

The Dublin actor picked up the gong for Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television. 

It is Farrell’s third Golden Globe win, having previously won for his performances in The Banshees of Inisherin and In Bruges.

After being presented the award, Farrell first quipped that he had no one to thank. “No one to thank on this when I did it all by myself,” he joked. “Just a raw, pared-away performance.”

He then focuses on the make-up team that performed the visual transformation that allowed him to play the bloated villain, saying that it took three hours to fit him with prosthetics each day. 

“In the morning, I drank black coffee, listened to 80s music, and I became a canvas for that team’s brilliance,” he said. 

Thank you for employing me. And yeah, I guess it’s prosthetics from here on out.

Farrell and fellow Irish actor Andrew Scott (Ripley TV series) had both been nominated in the category. In his acceptance speech, Farrell recalled their first onscreen collaboration.

“Andrew, you were in my first film, 25 or 30 years ago,” Farrell said while accepting the award on stage at at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

“You can’t even find it on Betamax. It doesn’t exist. We go back that far.”

Farrell follows in the footsteps of  Joaquin Phoenix and Heath Ledger in winning a Golden Globe Award for playing a Batman villain.  

Phoenix who won in 2020 for his role in The Joker and late actor Ledger who won in 2009 for The Dark Knight.

In the winners’ room, Farrell said the two actors are “for my money, the most extraordinary, talented and gifted and just brilliant artists in film that I’ve ever had the fortune to observe and be affected by”.

“What Heath did in Chris Nolan’s Dark Knight was extraordinary, and will live on for future generations and what Joaquin did with The Joker was as exemplified by all the awards that he won and the Oscar stuff – it was extraordinary,” Farrell said. 

“So to have your name thrown into, just uttered in the same sentence, as those performances – honestly, it’s lovely, but I still approach it all more from just a fan of it all.

“I don’t feel like I’m part of that pantheon, I don’t think I’ll go home tonight thinking I’m part of that pantheon.”

Other awards

Across other categories at the Globes last night, surreal narco-musical “Emilia Perez” and epic immigrant drama “The Brutalist” were the big winners, as prizes were shared widely across an international crop of movies at the year’s first major showbiz awards gala.

French director Jacques Audiard’s Mexico-set “Emilia Perez”, about a drug lord who transitions to life as a woman, took four prizes, including best comedy or musical film.

It won for best non-English language film and best original song, while Zoe Saldana took best supporting actress honors, nudging out her co-star Selena Gomez.

Demi Moore won best actress in a comedy movie for the satirical horror The Substance, and the surprise winner was among the most popular award recipients of the evening.

“I’ve been doing this a long time – for 45 years – and this is the first time I’ve ever won anything,” she said.

During an emotional speech Moore, 62, whose character confronts the harsh reality of ageing in Hollywood in the body horror The Substance, said:

“Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a popcorn actress and at that time, I made that mean that this wasn’t something that I was allowed to have, that I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn’t be acknowledged.”

I bought in, and I believed that, and that corroded me over time, to the point where I thought a few years ago that maybe this was it, maybe I was complete. I’ve done what I was supposed to do.

“And as I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance, and the universe told me that you’re not done.”

The actress, whose win likely makes her a frontrunner for the Oscars, beat the likes of Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, Nightbitch’s Amy Adams and Challengers actress Zendaya to take home the award.

Best Drama

Immigration story The Brutalist took home several major awards including gongs for actor Adrien Brody and director Brady Corbet and Best Drama. 

Brody scored his first Golden Globe for best male actor in a motion picture drama win for the role as a Hungarian architect attempting to build a life in the US after the Second World War.

Accepting the award on stage he said: “The character’s journey is very reminiscent of my mother’s and my ancestral journey of fleeing the horrors of war and coming to this great country, and I owe so much to my mother and my grandparents for their sacrifice.”

Golden Globes / YouTube

“Although I do not know fully how to express all of the challenges that you have faced and experienced and the many people who have struggled immigrating to this country, I hope this work stands to lift you up and to give you a voice. I will cherish this moment forever.”

The Brutalist director Brady Corbet, who took home the film directing gong, said: “I was told that no one would come out and see it.”

The annual ceremony, held in Beverly Hills, was dominated by first-time winners, including film gongs for A Different Man’s Sebastian Stan, I’m Still Here’s Fernanda Torres, and in the TV categories, Shogun stars Anna Sawai, Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano.

Golden Globes / YouTube

Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, about a comedian and barman who is stalked by an older woman after he offers her a cup of tea at the pub where he works, won best limited TV or anthology series or TV movie award.

The show’s creator, Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, pleaded with broadcasters and streamers to make stories that let the “little person tell their story” as he collected the gong.

His Yorkshire co-star Jessica Gunning secured her first win for the best female supporting actress in the television category.

I am out quite regularly and tourists etc. don’t believe you when you tell them that’s a wrap. FG backbenchers saying there is no demand. Then what’s the problem? If there’s no demand premises just won’t stay open any longer. And also how would they know? When is the last time any of them were out in the city centre at the weekend?

    With a few strokes of a pen, they can sign legislation, practically overnight, to keep you within 5km of your home, ban you from visiting your family, “cancel” Christmas and ban minorities (unvaxxed) from pubs and restaurants. Remember that. They can do a lot. But they don’t do it.

    @Ger Whelan: A perfect example of twisting a story! People sit in limited and well spaced numbers in a restuarant. People stand and mingle in much larger numbers in pubs. So Restuarants were allowed open. Cue publicans saying “But, but, but,………!”. So pubs which served meals to seated customers were allowed to open. But if you wish to believe that somebody said having a meal with your pint prevented the spread of Covid I won’t stop you.
