“One Battle After Another” and “Hamnet” Triumph at 83rd Golden Globes
Paul Thomas Anderson’s revolutionary saga “One Battle After Another” claimed the top prize for best picture in the musical or comedy category at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards held Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.
In the drama category, “Hamnet” took home the coveted best picture award, solidifying its position as a critical favorite this awards season.
The star-studded ceremony, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser for the second consecutive year, showcased the entertainment industry’s brightest talents across film and television. Glaser, known for her sharp wit, guided the notoriously boozy celebration, which was broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
“One Battle After Another” dominated the nominations with nine nods and made an early impact when Teyana Taylor won the first award of the night for female supporting actor. The film continued its winning streak with Anderson claiming both best director and best screenplay honors.
In the acting categories, Wagner Moura earned best male actor in a drama for his work in the Brazilian film “The Secret Agent,” which also won in the non-English language category. Jessie Buckley was recognized as best female actor in a drama for her performance in “Hamnet.”
For musical or comedy performances, Timothée Chalamet received the male actor award for “Marty Supreme,” while Rose Byrne took home the female actor trophy for her work in the provocatively titled “If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You.”
The evening reflected the diverse landscape of current entertainment, with “Sentimental Value” — which entered the ceremony with eight nominations — earning Stellan Skarsgard a win for male supporting actor in a motion picture.
In the animation category, “KPop Demon Hunters” claimed victory, also winning for original song with “Golden.” Meanwhile, the box office hit “Sinners” was honored with the cinematic and box office achievement award and featured Ludwig Göransson’s winning original score.
Television categories saw equally competitive fields, with “The Pitt” winning for best TV drama series. Noah Wyle earned the male actor award for his performance in the show. “Pluribus” star Rhea Seehorn took home the female actor in a drama series award.
In comedy television, “The Studio” won best series, with Seth Rogen recognized for his performance. Jean Smart continued her acclaimed run for “Hacks,” winning female actor in a TV comedy series.
The limited series category was largely dominated by “Adolescence,” which won best limited series and supporting acting awards for both Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty. Stephen Graham was recognized for his lead performance in the same series. Michelle Williams received the female actor award in this category for “Dying for Sex.”
In newer award categories reflecting the changing media landscape, Ricky Gervais won for stand-up comedy performance with “Mortality,” while “Good Hang With Amy Poehler” received recognition in the podcast category.
The Golden Globes, which bills itself as Hollywood’s booziest bash, has worked to rebuild its reputation in recent years after controversies regarding its voting body and practices. This year’s ceremony appeared to run smoothly, marking another step in the awards show’s rehabilitation efforts.
As the first major awards show of the season, the Golden Globes often provides early momentum for films and performers heading into the Oscar race. With their respective wins, “One Battle After Another” and “Hamnet” now position themselves as serious contenders for the industry’s highest honors in the coming months.
