Brody, 51, won the best actor award for his role in The Brutalist as a Hungarian-Jewish architect, while Madison, 25, won for her role in Anora, about a sex worker who falls for a Russian oligarch.This year’s ceremony saw The Brutalist and papal drama Conclave tie with four wins each, including wins for outstanding British film, best film and editing for Conclave, while The Brutalist took home the directing gong with a win for Brady Corbet.
Accepting Conclave’s best film award, German director Edward Berger recalled the journey to make the film took seven years, paying tribute to British screenplay writer Peter Straughan’s “wonderful script”, and the cast including British actor Ralph Fiennes and Hollywood star Isabella Rossellini, who both missed out on gongs. “What you did (for) me on set was magic,” he added. “I’m so grateful I was able to witness.” Hosted by Doctor Who star David Tennant for the second consecutive year, and held at the Royal Festival Hall at London’s Southbank Centre, the ceremony also saw wins for Succession star Kieran Culkin and Zoe Saldana, who were victorious in the supporting actor categories.
Culkin, 42, won for his role in Jesse Eisenberg’s comedy drama A Real Pain, about two cousins who explore their Jewish grandmother’s roots in Poland, while Saldana won for her role in Netflix film Emilia Perez.
