“One Battle After Another” and “Hamnet” were the big winners at the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards.

A Warner Bros. Discovery release, “One Battle” was the leading contender going into the evening with nine total nominations. It won the most too; along with best motion picture – musical or comedy, the eerily contemporary action satire won the supporting actress prize for Teyana Taylor and scored trophies for both screenplay and director for filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.

In his speech for the latter award, Anderson shouted out Warner Bros. Discovery’s film division co-chair Mike De Luca, who produced the director’s breakout feature “Boogie Nights” in 1997. Anderson’s praise for De Luca’s leadership also extended to other Globes-nominated Warner features among this year’s field.

“He wanted to be my champion and he single-handedly supported me and the movies I wanted to make,” Anderson said. “He said he had a dream of running a studio one day and he was going to let directors do whatever the hell they wanted. That’s how you get a ‘Sinners.’ That’s how you get a ‘Weapons.’ That’s how you get ‘One Battle After Another.’ Thank you to him for that.”

Meanwhile, Focus Features’ ‘Hamnet” won the best motion picture – drama award, along with a female actor prize for the film’s star, Jessie Buckley. Filmmaker Chloe Zhao, a previous winner for 2020’s “Nomadland,” was nominated in the director and screenplay categories.

“Paul [Mescal] said that making ‘Hamnet’ made him realize that the most important thing about being an artist is learning to be vulnerable enough to allow ourselves to be seen for who we are, not who we ought to be,” Zhao said, joined onstage by her cast and her producer, Steven Spielberg. “I’m looking at you and I see so many of you have become so strong and tender at the same time. You have shared so much of yourself in your work.”

Notably, both “One Battle After Another” and “Hamnet” are defined by the love between a parent and their child. “One Battle” stars Leonardo DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary couch potato, kicked into a mad dash to rescue his daughter (Chase Infiniti) after the police state puts the two of them in its crosshairs. Meanwhile, “Hamnet” adapts Maggie O’Farrell’s novel of the same name, which dramatizes the lives of William Shakespeare (Mescal) and his wife Agnes Hathaway (Buckley) after they endure the death of their teenage son.

In the TV categories, HBO’s medical drama “The Pitt,” Apple TV+’s showbiz satire “The Studio” and Netflix’s psychological thriller series “Adolescence” cleaned up through the evening. “Adolescence” dominated with four total awards, while “The Pitt” and “The Studio” took home best series prizes and an acting prize apiece, for stars Noah Wyle and Seth Rogen, respectively.

Other big winners from the evening included Ryan Coogler’s vampire blues musical “Sinners,” which scored prizes in the best original score and cinematic and box office achievement categories. Netflix’s streaming sensation “KPop Demon Hunters,” the most-viewed film in the platform’s history, won for animated motion picture and original song, for the breakout, now ubiquitous earworm “Golden.” Neon’s “The Secret Agent,” a shaggy dog historical thriller set in the nooks and crannies of Brazil’s mid-2oth century dictatorship, also won two prizes: best non-English language motion picture and best actor in a motion picture – drama, for star Wagner Moura.

A separate Globes event was held prior to the ceremony, honoring two actresses for their achievements in film and television, respectively. Helen Mirren, whose recent credits include “Goodbye June” and “The Thursday Murder Club,” received the Cecil B. DeMille Award. She previously won three Golden Globes among 18 total nominations across film and television.  Sarah Jessica Parker received the Carol Burnett Award, hot off of airing the final episode of HBO Max’s “And Just Like That…,” a sequel series to the perennial sitcom favorite “Sex and the City.” She was a six-time winner for “Sex and the City,” for both best series and best actress in a comedy.

Hosted by Nikki Glaser, the 83rd annual Golden Globes ceremony was televised on CBS on Jan. 11, 2026. It was telecast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ from the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
