Paul Thomas Anderson Wins Best Director and Screenplay for 'One Battle After Another' at 83rd Golden Globes

The twin Globes bolster the film’s awards-season lead heading into Oscar nominations on January 22.

Overview

  • Teyana Taylor won Best Supporting Actress earlier in the ceremony for her performance in the film.
  • The movie has stacked major critics’ honors, including top prizes from LAFCA, NBR, NSFC, and NYFCC, plus Critics’ Choice Best Picture and the Gotham Best Feature.
  • It earned broad Golden Globe recognition across Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy, directing, acting, screenplay, and score, with acting nods for Leonardo DiCaprio, Chase Infiniti, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro.
  • At the upcoming SAG/Actor Awards, the film set a record with seven nominations, including Best Ensemble, five individual performance bids, and a stunt team nod.
  • Anderson’s directing win was his first Globe nomination in that category and his second career Globe, and he cited Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland as a loose inspiration for the screenplay in his remarks.
