One Battle After Another leads Golden Globe nominations

Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another scored a leading nine nominations to the 83rd Golden Globe Awards on Monday, adding to the Oscar favourite’s momentum and handing Warner Bros. a victory amid its deal to be acquired by Netflix. One Battle After Another landed nominations for its cast – Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn and Chase Infiniti – along with nods for Anderson’s screenplay and direction. It’s competing in the Globes’ category for comedy and musicals. Close on its heels was Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value, a Norwegian family drama about a filmmaking family. The Neon release’s eight nominations included nods for four of its actors: Stellan Skarsgard, Renate Reinsve, Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas. The Globe nominations, a tattered but persistent rite in Hollywood, are coming on the heels of a potentially seismic shift in entertainment. On Friday, Netflix struck a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery for USD 72 billion. If approved, the deal would reshape Hollywood and put one of its most storied movie studios in the hands of the streaming giant. (AP)
