Can Any Film Catch One Battle After Another? |
Awards season is young yet—but it seems like we may already know which film is destined to win best picture. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another came into this week’s Gotham Awards as the most nominated film in the ceremony’s history; it walked away with the best-feature prize, cementing it as this year’s front-runner. As Chris Murphy reports, the movie dominated the Gothams even though another film, Jafar Panahi’s It Was Just an Accident, took home more total awards. “Given the film’s excellent reviews and box office success, as well as the narrative that Anderson—with 11 Oscar nominations and zero wins—is overdue for recognition, the question isn’t whether One Battle After Another is the film to beat this awards season, but whether any other film can hope to catch up,” he writes.
