Golden Globes: 'One Battle After Another' leads; 'Hamnet' and several first-time winners

The 83rd Golden Globes on Sunday handed major prizes to a range of films and shows, with Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another emerging as the most awarded film and Hamnet taking best motion picture — drama. One Battle After Another won best motion picture, musical or comedy and prizes for its director, screenplay and an acting award, while Hamnet won best drama and Jessie Buckley was named best actress in a drama.

Wagner Moura won best actor in a drama for The Secret Agent; Sinners took two awards, for best original score and a box office and cinematic achievement prize; and Warner Bros. Discovery projects collected nine Globes, the most of any company. Netflix dominated the miniseries and animated film categories with Adolescence and KPop Demon Hunters, and Paramount went home empty-handed.

Several performers won their first Globes, including Timothée Chalamet (best actor, musical or comedy, for Marty Supreme), Rose Byrne, Rhea Seehorn (best actress in a TV drama for Pluribus) and Jessie Buckley. In television, Jean Smart won again for Hacks, Noah Wyle won for The Pitt, and Apple TV+’s The Studio won best television comedy.

The show was hosted by Nikki Glaser, who referenced Hollywood’s ongoing Warner Bros. Discovery bidding war and ended the ceremony with a Spinal Tap cap in a nod to the recent deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
