The Golden Globe awards on January 5 celebrated major wins for historical drama Shogun and UK-based series Baby Reindeer. The night also honored The Brutalist, Emilia Perez, and notable performances from Colin Farrell and Jessica Gunning.

The Golden Globe awards on January 5 saw Shogun take center stage, winning Best Television Drama alongside acting accolades for its stars Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai.

UK-based Netflix series Baby Reindeer, which centers on the true story of a turbulent relationship between a female stalker and her comedian victim, also earned recognition at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The show took home the Best Limited Series prize. Creator Richard Gadd expressed hope that the success of Baby Reindeer would encourage more shows tackling "the painful inconsistencies of being human." Gadd's co-star, Jessica Gunning, won Best Actress in a Limited Series for her portrayal of the unpredictable stalker.

In film, The Brutalist claimed the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama, while star Adrien Brody won Best Actor for his role.
