"Final-cut tiebreak goes to the director," the filmmaker said while accepting his movie's third award of the night.

"No one was asking for a three and a half hour film about a mid-century designer, on 70mm, but it works," the filmmaker said.

The Brutalist took home one of the most prestigious awards of the night at the Golden Globes when it was honored with Best Picture in the Drama category on Sunday night. Filmmaker Brady Corbet, who also won Best Director earlier in the night, took the stage along with the movie’s cast and producers to accept the award.
