One Battle After Another and Adolescence lead 83rd Golden Globes with four wins each

Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another and Netflix drama Adolescence each took four awards at the 83rd Golden Globes, leading this year's winners as the ceremony aired on CBS. Anderson's counterculture epic won best comedy or musical film and earned him his first Golden Globe wins for best director and screenplay; he said, "I love doing what I do so this is just fun," and paid tribute to Adam Somner, who was an assistant director on the film before his death in November 2024.

Teyana Taylor won best female supporting actor for the film and, in a tearful speech, devoted her award "to my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight", adding: "We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space." Adolescence picked up four Globes including best limited series; writer Jack Thorne said the show is not meant to criticise young people but rather "the filth and the debris we have laid in their path", while Stephen Graham won best actor in a limited series, Owen Cooper won supporting actor, and Erin Doherty won for supporting female actor.

Other notable film winners included Hamnet for best drama film and Jessie Buckley for lead actress in a drama, with Steven Spielberg saying Chloé Zhao was "the only film-maker who could have made the movie" and Buckley calling the honour "a real, real honour". Ryan Coogler's Sinners won for original score and for cinematic and box office achievement.
