And with a proper aroma of the New Hollywood of the seventies. That’s why One battle after one other It serves as a compendium of his virtues, together with his propensity for hopeful messages that embody forgiveness as redemption, though this time the narrative engine is revolution. And within the two plots, separated by 16 years of distinction, those that reply from intelligence to energy triumph. He who is aware of easy methods to learn…

That message is sweeping awards season. By the way in which, there is no such thing as a career or artwork through which extra awards are given than cinema. Both in Spain (though the literary awards are usually not far behind) and, above all, within the Anglo-Saxon world. And but PTA, which has triumphed in Berlin, Cannes or Venice, has not obtained sufficient recognition. Until nowadays: between the Critics Choice, awarded on January 4, and the Golden Globes final morning, to One battle after one other The path to the Oscars has been clear, whose nominations are voted on from Monday to Friday: proper within the nice wave of PTA.

For PTA they had been the awards for finest script, course and comedy or musical movie. Additionally, the volcanic Teyana Taylor, who performs a power of nature, the revolutionary chief Perfidia (What a reputation!), received the award for finest supporting actress. On the opposite hand, its protagonist, Leonardo DiCaprio, essentially the most underrated performer of latest many years, misplaced as a comedy or musical actor towards an electrifying Timothée Chalamet on this two and a half hour nervousness assault that’s Marty Supreme. The steadiness ideas in favor of the 29-year-old actor.

Among the Norwegian Valor sentimental and the Franco-Iranian A easy accident a Sirât, by Oliver Laxe, sand the Brazilian sneaked in The undercover agent, by Kleber Mendonça Filho, for finest overseas language movie, along with Wagner Moura for finest drama actor. For a number of causes: as a result of it’s a nice movie with an exquisite Moura, as a result of the distributor Neon has launched it firmly and since Brazil is closely represented among the many 400 voters of the Golden Globes.

The prizes had been very profitable for Hamnet, by Chloé Zhao, in finest dramatic movie (though her Oscar marketing campaign has been diluted) and its protagonist, Jessie Buckley – after years of being an excellent, she is lastly receiving well-liked recognition – in drama actress. Or Stellan Skarsgård for finest supporting position as a filmmaker father who tries to heal wounds in Valor sentimental, due to contrite dad and mom the season goes with Valor sentimental, Sirât, Jay Kelly, Sprinsgteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, Una batalla tras otra, Frankenstein, The Mastermind, Roofman, The Phoenician plot, Hamnet, Anemone y Marty Supreme.

Other awards went extra unnoticed: finest drama actress for Rose Byrne, for If I may, I might kick you, or each of The sinners: the one for finest soundtrack for Ludwig Göranssom (given, ahem, throughout promoting) and the one for finest cinematographic achievement on the field workplace. A disgrace, as a result of it’s the horror movie of the yr.

From the 2026 Golden Globes, one thing greater than the triumph of PTA might be remembered. You will keep in mind the presenter’s cap, Nikki Glaser, on the finish of the gala, which learn “Spinal Tap”, in reminiscence of the late Rob Reiner. Or the aroma of a triumphant farewell to the Warner studio (One battle after one other, The sinners and the collection The Pitt y Hacks had been born there) and one other assortment of awards from whoever could also be its purchaser, Netflix (the 2 recognitions of The Okay-pop warriors, the monologue Mortality, by Ricky Gervais, and the destruction of the collection Adolescence belong to that platform).

By the way in which, the Golden Globes manufacturing firm, Dick Clark Productions, is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a three way partnership between Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge that additionally owns The Hollywood Reporter, Variety y Deadline. Hence most of the previous assaults on the defunct overseas press affiliation in Hollywood have disappeared. Many, not all.

And to promote for the awards, these pre-nominees had been provided promoting to pay in Variety. So the 5 finalists have paid to be there and that is why these podcasts are, for essentially the most half, well-known individuals interviewing well-known individuals. As in The Leopard, “If we want everything to remain as it is, everything needs to change.”
