(AP) mdash; Paul Thomas Andersonrsquo;s ragtag revolutionary saga ldquo;One Battle After Anotherrdquo; took top honors at Sundayrsquo;s 83rd Golden Globes in the comedy category, while Chloeacute; Zhao's Shakespeare drama ldquo;Hamnetrdquo; pulled off an upset over ldquo;Sinnersrdquo; to win best f ilm, drama.ldquo;One Battle After Anotherrdquo; won best film, comedy, supporting female actor for Teyana Taylor and best director and best screenplay for Anderson. He became just the second filmmaker to sweep director, screenplay and film, as a producer, at the Globes. Only Oliver Stone, for ldquo;Born on the Fourth of July,rdquo; managed the same feat.In an awards ceremony that went almost entirely as expected, the night's final award was the most surprising. While ldquo;One Battle After Anotherrdquo; has been the clear frontrunner this awards season, most have pegged Ryan Coogler's Jim Crow-era vampire thriller as its closest competition.But ldquo;Hamnet,rdquo; a speculative drama about William and Agnes Shakespeare based on Maggie Orsquo;Farrell's bestseller, won in the dramatic category shortly after its star, Jessie Buckley, won best female actor in a drama.It was a banner night for Warner Bros., the studio behind ldquo;One Battle After Anotherrdquo; and ldquo;Sinners.rdquo; Warner Bros. Discovery has agreed to be sold to Netflix in an $83 billion deal. Paramount Skydance has appealed to shareholders with its own rival offer.In his speech after winning best director, Anderson praised Warner co-chief Michael DeLuca.ldquo;He said he wanted to run a studio one day and let filmmakers make whatever they want,rdquo; said Anderson. ldquo;Thatrsquo;s how you get lsquo;Sinners.rsquo; Thatrsquo;s how you get a lsquo;Weapons.' Thatrsquo;s how you get lsquo;One Battle After Another.rsquo;rdquo;The final awards brought to, or near, the stage a handful of the most talented filmmakers together in Anderson, Zhao and Coogler mdash; plus Steven Spielberg, a producer of ldquo;Hamnet.rdquo; Regardless of who won what, it was a heartening moment of solidarity between them, with a shared sense of purpose. Zhao fondly recalled being at Sundance Labs with Coogler when they were each starting out.ldquo;As students, letrsquo;s keep our hearts open and letrsquo;s keep seeing each other and allowing each other to be seen,rdquo; said Zhao, while Coogler smiled from the front row.ldquo;Sinnersrdquo; won for best score and cinematic and box-office achievement. The win for box office and cinematic achievement, over franchise films like ldquo;Avatar: Fire and Ash,rdquo; was notable for Coogler's film, a movie that some reports labeled a qualified success on its release.Yet ldquo;Sinnersrdquo; ultimately grossed $278 million domestically and $368 million worldwide, making it highest grossing original film in 15 years.ldquo;I just want to thank the audience for showing up,rdquo; said Coogler. ldquo;Itrsquo;s means the world.rdquo;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 ldquo;KPop Demon Huntersrdquo; (best animated film, song), a meta triumph for Seth Rogenrsquo;s ldquo;The Studiordquo; and an inaugural award for podcasting that went to Amy Poehlerrsquo;s ldquo;Good Hang.rdquo;Many of the Oscar favorites won. Timothee Chalamet won his first Golden Globe, for ldquo;Marty Supreme,rdquo; 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.ldquo;My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up: Always be grateful for what you have,rdquo; said Chalamet. ldquo;Itrsquo;s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. Irsquo;d be lying if I didnrsquo;t say those moments didnrsquo;t make this moment that much sweeter.rdquo;Glaser comes out swingingThe 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 nightrsquo;s favorite, ldquo;One Battle After Another.rdquo; Emceeing the show for the second straight year, Glaser kicked off the show with self-aware satire.ldquo;Yes, the Golden Globes, without a doubt the most important thing happening in the world right now,rdquo; she said.In a winning, rapid-fire opening monologue that landed some punch lines on the usual subjects mdash; the age of Leonardo DiCapriorsquo;s dates, Kevin Hartrsquo;s height mdash; Glaser also dove right into some of her most topical material.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 ldquo;most editing,rdquo; however, she suggested deserved to go to Bari Weissrsquo; new CBS News mdash; a dig at the Paramount Skydance-owned network airing the Globes.Globes mix glitz and gloomPolitical tension and industrywide uncertainty were the prevailing moods heading into Sundayrsquo;s 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. Following the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, several attendees wore pins reading ldquo;Be Good."The Globes, formerly presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, have no overlap or direct correlation with the Academy Awards. After being sold in 2023 to Todd Boehlyrsquo;s 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.But in the fluctuating undulations of awards season, a good speech at the Globes can boost an Oscar campaign. Winners Sunday included Rose Byrne (ldquo;If I Had Legs I'd Kick Yourdquo;) for best female actor in a comedy or musical, and Wagner Moura, the Brazilian star of ldquo;The Secret Agent,rdquo; for best male actor in a drama. Kleber Mendonccedil;a Filho's period political thriller also won best international film.ldquo;I think if trauma can be passed along generations, values can do,rdquo; Moura said. ldquo;So this to the ones who are sticking with their values in difficult moments.rdquo;Other winners Sunday included the supporting actor front-runner, Stellan Skarsgaring;rd who won for the Norwegian family drama ldquo;Sentimental Value.rdquo; It was the first major Hollywood movie award for the 74-year-old, a respected veteran actor who drew a standing ovation.ldquo;I was not prepared for this because I, of course, thought I was too old,rdquo; said Skarsgaring;rd.lsquo;The Studio' and 'Adolescence' winIn the television awards, ldquo;The Pittrdquo; took best drama series, while Noah Wyle won, too, brushing past his former ldquo;ERrdquo;-star Clooney on the way to the stage. Netflixrsquo;s ldquo;Adolescencerdquo; won four awards: best limited series, and acting awards for Erin Doherty, Stephen Graham and 16-year-old Owen Cooper.Other winners included Rhea Seehorn for ldquo;Pluribusrdquo; and Jean Smart for ldquo;Hacks.rdquo;But the most comically poignant award of the night went to ldquo;The Studio,rdquo; the best comedy series winner. Seth Rogenrsquo;s Hollywood satire memorably included an episode devoted to drama around a night at the Globes. (Sample line: ldquo;I remember when the red carpet of the Golden Globes actually stood for something.rdquo;) Rogen also won best male actor in a comedy.ldquo;This is so weird,rdquo; Rogen said, chuckling. ldquo;We just pretended to do this. And now itrsquo;s happening.rdquo;vaccPermalink| Comments ...read more read less
