Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light won many accolades overseas, including the prestigious Grand Prix at the 77th Cannes Film Festival last year, however, recently it lost out the Golden Globe award for the Best Foreign Language Film to Emilia Perez.

Emilia Perez wins Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Emilia Perez, which is also France's official entry to Oscars 2025, follows four remarkable women in Mexico, each pursuing their own happiness. Cartel leader Emilia enlists Rita, an unappreciated lawyer, to help fake her death so that she can finally live authentically as her true self.

Though Payal didn’t win an award at the Golden Globes, she made history as the first Indian director ever to be nominated for Best Director.
