83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards
The 83rd Annual Golden Globe Awards, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser for the second consecutive year, marked a night of triumph for Paul Thomas Anderson’s dark satire One Battle After Another and the gritty British drama Adolescence.
In a ceremony that celebrated both theatrical blockbusters and streaming hits, One Battle After Another dominated the film categories, taking home four awards including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. On the television side, the limited series Adolescence proved to be an unstoppable force, sweeping its categories with four wins, including a historic victory for 16-year-old newcomer Owen Cooper.
While One Battle After Another claimed the comedy crown, Chloé Zhao’s emotional period drama Hamnet secured the night’s most prestigious drama prize, winning Best Motion Picture – Drama.
Top Film Winners: Anderson and Zhao Triumph
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, a politically charged dark comedy loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, was the evening’s biggest film winner. The film won Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, while Anderson himself collected trophies for Best Director and Best Screenplay. The film also secured a win for Best Supporting Actress (Chase Infiniti), though lead star Leonardo DiCaprio was upset in the Best Actor category by Timothée Chalamet.
In the drama categories, Hamnet emerged victorious. Directed by Chloé Zhao and produced by Steven Spielberg, the film explores the life of Agnes Shakespeare and the loss of her son. Jessie Buckley took home Best Actress – Drama for her role as Agnes, while the film itself won Best Motion Picture – Drama.
Brazilian actor Wagner Moura caused a stir by winning Best Actor – Drama for The Secret Agent, solidifying his status as a frontrunner for the upcoming Oscars. Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet won Best Actor – Musical or Comedy for his performance in Marty Supreme, edging out heavyweights like DiCaprio and George Clooney.
TV Winners: ‘Adolescence’ and ‘The Studio’ Shine
The night’s biggest television story was the overwhelming success of the limited series Adolescence. The bullying drama won Best Limited Series, while its cast swept the acting categories. Veteran actor Stephen Graham won Best Actor in a Limited Series, and Erin Doherty took home Best Supporting Actress – Television.
History was made when 16-year-old Owen Cooper won Best Supporting Actor – Television for his role in the series, becoming the second-youngest winner in Golden Globes history.
In the continuing series categories, Seth Rogen’s showbiz satire The Studio won Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, with Rogen also winning Best Actor in the genre. The medical drama The Pitt had a strong showing, winning key awards including Best Actor – Drama for Noah Wyle.
