Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another and Netflix’s breakout drama Adolescence emerged as the biggest winners at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, taking home four trophies each and setting the tone for a night that celebrated both ambitious filmmaking and buzzy new television.
Anderson’s counterculture comedy thriller won best motion picture in the comedy or musical category, alongside best director and best screenplay for Anderson himself, marking his first-ever Golden Globe wins. Accepting his awards, Anderson said he simply loved doing his work and paid tribute to the late assistant director Adam Somner, who died in November 2024.
The film’s success was rounded out by Teyana Taylor, who won best supporting actress. In an emotional speech, she dedicated the award to “my brown sisters and little brown girls,” saying they belong in every space and deserve to have their voices heard.

Netflix’s Adolescence continued its awards-season momentum by winning best limited series, along with acting wins for Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, and Erin Doherty. Creator and writer Jack Thorne said the series was not intended to criticize young people but rather to confront the damage left behind by adults and institutions. Graham won best actor in a limited series, while Cooper followed his historic Emmy victory with another supporting actor award.
The historical drama Hamnet also made a strong showing, winning best drama film and best lead actress in a drama for Jessie Buckley. Produced by Steven Spielberg and Sam Mendes, the film was praised by Spielberg, who said director Chloé Zhao was uniquely suited to bring the story to life. Buckley called the award a “real honor,” beating competitors including Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence.

Timothée Chalamet won best lead actor in a comedy for his role in the ping-pong caper Marty Supreme, earning his first Golden Globe after four previous losses. He noted that those earlier defeats made the win even more meaningful, and the victory made him the youngest winner in the category.
Ryan Coogler’s period horror hit Sinners won for original score and cinematic and box office achievement, while Brazilian thriller The Secret Agent earned two awards, including best non-English-language film and best lead actor in a drama for Wagner Moura—the first Brazilian to win in that category.
On the television side, new series dominated. Hospital drama The Pitt won best drama series, with Noah Wyle also taking best actor. Apple’s industry comedy The Studio won best comedy series, and Seth Rogen claimed best actor in a comedy series. Rhea Seehorn won best actress in a drama series for Pluribus, while Jean Smart earned her third Globe for Hacks.
Host Nikki Glaser returned for a second year, delivering sharp jokes and overseeing the introduction of a new category for best podcast, which went to Good Hang with Amy Poehler. With Oscar nominations set to be announced on January 22, the Golden Globes offered an early snapshot of a wide-open awards season.
