Ever since Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another debuted in theaters, casual audiences, critics, industry professionals, and more have praised its excellence. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that PTA’s dark comedic crime thriller is cleaning up at early awards opportunities. On Wednesday, the National Board of Review bestowed One Battle After Another with several awards, including Best Film, Best Director for Anderson, Best Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, Best Supporting Actor for Benicio Del Toro, and Best Breakthrough Performer for Chase Infiniti.

How does NBR’s list stack against the New York Film Critics Circle?

The impressive list of National Board of Review wins follows the film’s previous success at the Gotham Film Awards and the New York Film Critics Circle, where it won in both presentations for Best Picture. Other winners at the New York Film Critics Circle included Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme for Best Screenplay, KPop Demon Hunters for Best Animated Film, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners for Best Cinematography, and Kleber Mendonça Filho’s The Secret Agent for Best International Film, as well as Best Actor for Wagner Moura.
