Golden Globes 2025: Payal Kapadia loses best director award to Brady Corbett
Filmmaker Payal Kapadia lost the Golden Globe Award to Brady Corbett in the best director category. He was nominated for his film All We Imagine as Light.
Director Payal Kapadia came close to winning Best Director at this year’s Golden Globes, but lost to Brady Corbett for The Brutalist. His acclaimed work on All We Imagine as Light faced stiff competition from Jacques Audiard (Emilia Pérez), Sean Baker (Anora), Edward Berger (Conclave), Corbett (The Brutalist) and Coralie Farget (The Substance).
Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine as Light also received an award Nomination for Best Non-English Language Motion Picture, competing against Emilia Pérez, I’m Still Here and The Seed of the Sacred Fig. However, it also missed out on picking up an award from Emilia Pérez in the same category.
