Awards season is in full swing. The New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics Association, National Board of Review, AFI, winners, along with the Critics’ Choice Awards and Golden Globes nominations, have all been published, discussed, and debated.
After that first rush of prizes, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another has emerged as the early Best Picture frontrunner. The revolutionary father-daughter misadventure has already claimed top honors from the National Board of Review, the Gotham Awards, the New York Film Critics Circle, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
That said, One Battle After Another is currently tied with its studio sibling Sinners atop our leaderboard with 105 wins. As the two films have traded Best Picture and Best Director wins across regional critics groups, this has clearly become a two film race. Even so, the Anderson feature remains strongly favored among critics. The next major test will come when the guilds resume voting in January.
We fully expect the landscape to shift as the season continues, and the rankings will likely look quite different in the weeks ahead. For now, the race is underway, and the uncertainty is part of the excitement. Which of these early wins will matter most in the long run remains to be seen. Like our leaderboard, everything is still very much up in the air. We will be here each week to track the momentum, so bookmark this page to stay up to date on which films are taking home the most prizes.
