The Spanish-language crime comedy beat off competition from 'Anora', 'Challengers', 'A Real Pain', 'The Substance' and 'Wicked' to take the night's final, and one of its most prestigious, prizes, taking its total haul for the evening to four prizes.

Earlier in the Beverly Hilton hotel, the movie had taken Best Motion Picture - Non-English Language, Best Original Song for 'Mi Camino' and Best Performane by an Actress in a Supporting Role, Motion Picture, for Zoe Saldana.

In his first acceptance speech of the night, director Jacques Audiard said: “I don’t have sisters so maybe this is why I made a film about sisterhood. If there were more sisters in the world, it might be a better place.”

In the film wins, 'The Brutalist' was next with three, with Adrien Brody taking Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama and Brady Corbet scooping Best Director - Motion Picture. It also won the night's other big prize, Best Motion Picture - Drama.

In the TV categories, 'Shogun' led the winners with four, Best Television Series – Drama, and acting honours for Anna Sawai, Hiroyuki Sanada, andTadanobu Asano.

Only 'Hacks' and 'Baby Reindeer' managed multiple wins in the TV categories, taking two each, with the former scooping Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy and Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for Jean Smart and the latter seeing Jessica Gunning take home the Best Supporting Actress, Television prize and a win in the Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television category.

Other notable winners during the evening was a surprise, historical, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama win for Brazilian star Fernanda Torres, whose work on 'I’m Still Here' saw her beat off competition that included epected winner Nicole Kidman, and Demi Moore, who reflected on being dismissed as a "popcorn actress" as she picked up the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy award for 'The Substance'.

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy went to Sebastian Stan for 'A Different Man' and Keiran Culkin won Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, Motion Picture for 'A Real Pain'.
