The Brutalist' filmmaker Brady Corbet earned the Golden Globe for best movie directing over nominees Jacques Audiard, Sean Baker, Edward Berger, Coralie Fargeat and Payal Kapadia at the Jan. 5 ceremony hosted by Nikki Glaser in Los Angeles.

"No one was asking for a three and a half hour film about a mid-century designer, on 70mm, but it works," the filmmaker said.

The 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards delivered its fair share of powerful speeches, but a standout of the evening was Brady Corbet, who won Best Director, Motion Picture for The Brutalist.
