Setting the tone for the awards season to come that stretches into the Oscars in mid-March, “One Battle After Another” claimed its first televised best-picture prize at the Critics Choice Awards.
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film about a burned-out revolutionary searching for his daughter, also honored the helmer known as PTA with best directing and adapted screenplay trophies.
“This is the best time I ever had making a movie, and I feel like it shows,” Anderson told the audience at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar in ceremonies televised live Sunday night on E! and USA Network.
The Critics Choice Awards are chosen by more than 500 broadcast critics and journalists and reward the best in film and television.
In the competitive best actor category, Timothée Chalamet took the trophy for his portrayal of a 1950s-era real life ping-pong player in “Marty Supreme.” The actor, who last year was feted for his role playing Bob Dylan, initially stumbled over his words in accepting the honor.
“Damn, I’m more nervous than I thought I’d be,” he admitted, ending his speech with a shout-out to his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. “Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you.
Jessie Buckley was expected to win the best actress award for her role in “Hamnet,” the first of what could be many other trophies. The Irish actress, who plays William Shakespeare’s wife opposite Paul Mescal, lauded him in her acceptance speech.
Other major film prizes went to Amy Madigan, the supporting actress winner for “Weapons,” and Jacob Elordi, who won the supporting actor trophy for “Frankenstein.” The Guillermo del Toro adaptation of the classic monster story also picked up awards for costumes and production design, while Ryan Coogler’s vampire drama, “Sinners,” won for score, original screenplay and best young actor, Miles Caton.Here is the complete list of winners:
