Nominations for the 83rd annual Golden Globes arrived before dawn on Monday and in a crowded awards season full of early feints and false starts, one film came away having clearly won the morning’s skirmish: “One Battle After Another.”

Paul Thomas Anderson’s ambitious movie — about former political radicals reckoning with middle age, compromise and the ideals they once wore more proudly — showed up nearly everywhere the Globes could put it, leading the field with nine nominations. It landed nods for best motion picture (musical or comedy), director, screenplay and several actors, marking the broadest show of support for any film and giving a still-unsettled Oscar race something resembling a focal point.

Coming off of the massive box office success of “Wicked: For Good,” Cynthia Erivo is also making history.

Erivo was nominated for a Golden Globe for lead actress in a musical or comedy on Monday morning, marking her second nod. She received her first nomination just a year ago for “Wicked.”

The laugh-laden political thriller ruled nominations Monday with nine, while Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value” followed close behind with eight. On the TV front, HBO’s “The White Lotus” led with six nominations — one more than the Netflix limited series “Adolescence.”
