Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s ragtag revolutionary saga \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d took top honors at Sunday\u2019s 83rd Golden Globes<\/a> in the comedy category, while Chloe Zhao\u2019s Shakespeare drama \u201cHamnet\u201d upset \u201cSinners\u201d to win best film, drama.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d<\/a> won best film, comedy, supporting female actor for Teyana Taylor and best director and best screenplay for Anderson. The director became just the second filmmaker to sweep director, screenplay and film at the Globes. Only Oliver Stone, for \u201cBorn on the Fourth of July,\u201d managed the same feat.<\/p>\n

Though \u201cHamnet\u201d<\/a> won the top award, \u201cSinners\u201d won for best score and the prize for cinematic and box-office achievement. The win for box office and cinematic achievement, over franchise films like \u201cAvatar: Fire and Ash,\u201d was notable for \u201cSinners,\u201d a movie that some reports labeled a qualified success on its release.<\/p>\n

But \u201cSinners\u201d ultimately grossed $278 million domestically and $368 million worldwide, making it highest grossing original film in 15 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to thank the audience for showing up,\u201d said Coogler. \u201cIt\u2019s means the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coming off years of scandal and subsequent rehabilitation, the Globes and host Nikki Glaser put on a star-studded ceremony that saw wins for the streaming sensation \u201cKPop Demon Hunters\u201d (best animated film, song), a meta triumph for Seth Rogen\u2019s \u201cThe Studio\u201d and an inaugural award for podcasting that went to Amy Poehler\u2019s \u201cGood Hang.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many of the Oscar favorites won. Timothee Chalamet won his first Golden Globe, for \u201cMarty Supreme,\u201d after four previous nominations. The 30-year-old is poised to win his first Oscar. Fellow nominees like Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney stood to applaud his win.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up: Always be grateful for what you have,\u201d said Chalamet. \u201cIt\u2019s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. I\u2019d be lying if I didn\u2019t say those moments didn\u2019t make this moment that much sweeter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glaser comes out swinging<\/p>\n

The Globes, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, got underway with a pointedly political opening from host Nikki Glaser and an early award for the night\u2019s favorite, \u201cOne Battle After Another.\u201d Emceeing the show for the second straight year,<\/a> Glaser kicked off the show with self-aware satire.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, the Golden Globes, without a doubt the most important thing happening in the world right now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In a winning, rapid-fire opening monologue<\/a> that landed some punch lines on the usual subjects \u2014 the age of Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s dates, Kevin Hart\u2019s height \u2014 Glaser also dove right into some of her most topical material.<\/p>\n

For the on-the-block Warner Bros., Glaser started the bidding at $5. Referencing the Epstein files, she suggested best editing should go to the Justice Dept. The \u201cmost editing,\u201d however, she suggested deserved to go to Bari Weiss\u2019 new CBS News \u2014 a dig at the Paramount Skydance-owned network airing the Globes.<\/p>\n

Globes mix glitz and gloom<\/p>\n

Political tension and industrywide uncertainty were the prevailing moods heading into Sunday\u2019s awards. Hollywood is coming off a disappointing box-office year and now anxiously awaits the fate of one of its most storied studios, Warner Bros.<\/a> Following the fatal shooting of Megan Good in Minneapolis by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, several attendees wore pins reading \u201cBe Good\u201d and \u201cICE Out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Globes, formerly presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, have no overlap or direct correlation with the Academy Awards<\/a>. After being sold in 2023 to Todd Boehly\u2019s Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions, a part of Penske Media, the Globes are voted on by around 400 people. The Oscars are voted on by more than 10,500 professionals.<\/p>\n

But in the fluctuating undulations of awards season, a good speech at the Globes can boost an Oscar campaign.<\/p>\n

Jessie Buckley, the Oscar frontrunner, won best female actor in a drama, for her performance in \u201cHamnet.\u201d In recent years, the Irish actor has had one of the fastest-ascending careers in film and theater. \u201cI love what I do and I love being part of this industry,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Rose Byrne<\/a> won best female actor in a comedy or musical for her performance in the not especially funny A24 indie \u201cIf I Had Legs I\u2019d Kick You.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best actor in a drama went to Wagner Moura, the Brazilian star of \u201cThe Secret Agent.\u201d The period political thriller also won best international film.<\/p>\n

I think if trauma can be passed along generations, values can do,\u201d Moura said. \u201cSo this to the ones who are sticking with their values in difficult moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other winners Sunday included the supporting actor frontrunner, Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd who won for the Norwegian family drama \u201cSentimental Value.\u201d<\/a> It was the first major Hollywood movie award for the 74-year-old, a respected veteran actor who drew a standing ovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not prepared for this because I, of course, thought I was too old,\u201d said Skarsg\u00e5rd.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Studio\u2019 and \u2018Adolesence\u2019 win<\/p>\n

In the television awards, \u201cThe Pitt\u201d took best drama series, while Noah Wyle won, too, brushing past his former \u201cER\u201d-star Clooney on the way to the stage. Netflix\u2019s \u201cAdolescence\u201d won four awards: best limited series, and acting awards for Erin Doherty, Stephen Graham and 16-year-old Owen Cooper.<\/p>\n

Other winners included Rhea Seehorn for \u201cPluribus\u201d and Jean Smart for \u201cHacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the most comically poignant award of the night went to \u201cThe Studio,\u201d the best comedy series winner. Seth Rogen\u2019s Hollywood satirememorably included an episode devoted to drama around a night at the Globes. (Sample line: \u201cI remember when the red carpet of the Golden Globes actually stood for something.\u201d) Rogen also won best male actor in a comedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is so weird,\u201d Rogen said, chuckling. \u201cWe just pretended to do this. And now it\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
