The Brutalist had a great night at the Golden Globes last night, taking away 3 major awards including Best Drama! I saw the movie over the weekend and it is a harrowing tale of the Immigrant Story in America. Had I seen it a few weeks ago, it may have made our BAL Immigration Report episode on top movies on immigration. I love to see these immigrant-centered stories both in theatres and on the small-screen. And it's great to see Adrien Brody thank his immigrant ancestors during his acceptance speech for Best Actor. I'm sure we will be seeing more wins for this important film as Oscar season continues to play out! #GoldenGlobes #Hollywood #Brutalist #AdrienBrody #Immigration
