In the Best Film - Drama category, it was Brutalista that triumphed, shocking some who anticipated Dune: Part Two or Conclave would take the prize. On the other hand, Emília Perez emerged victorious in the Best Musical or Comedy category, leaving many questioning whether this decision was justified, especially given its competitive contenders such as Viable Rivals and Wicked.
