The Golden Globes ceremony ignored politics. But their big winner taps today's unhappy turbulence | Peter Bradshaw

The Golden Globes have once again defied expectations by sidestepping politics in favor of art. However, as Paul Thomas Anderson's critically-acclaimed epic 'One Battle After Another' dominates the ceremony with its four wins, including Best Director for the auteur himself, it becomes clear that the film is tapping into today's turbulent mood.

Anderson's masterful storytelling and character study of Leonardo DiCaprio's lead role brings to life a counterculture tale of disillusionment and rebellion. The award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy goes to Timothée Chalamet for his remarkable performance in Josh Safdie's 'Marty Supreme', an exhilarating ping-pong comedy that showcases the young actor's range.

On the other hand, Jessie Buckley shines as William Shakespeare's wife Agnes in Chloé Zhao's 'Hamnet', earning her Best Actress Globe. Her portrayal of a grieving mother is nothing short of breathtaking, and it's no surprise that this film has captured the hearts of critics and audiences alike.

The awards list also highlights Rose Byrne's standout performance in 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You' as the winner of Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. This dark comedy explores themes of existential disquiet and features an impressive ensemble cast.

Two notable winners from last year were recognized with their second awards, including Kleber Mendonca Filho's Brazilian movie 'The Secret Agent', which won Best Non-English Language Film for its lead actor Wagner Moura. Moura's powerful performance earned him the award for Best Actor in a Drama, cementing his status as one of the most respected actors of our time.

Despite controversies surrounding membership diversity and bribes, tonight's list of winners feels like a breath of fresh air. With notable omissions from Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners', it remains to be seen how the Oscars will unfold.

Ultimately, this year's Golden Globes have delivered an awards list that is both impressive and thought-provoking. As we look forward to the Oscar ceremony, one thing becomes clear: these four films are among the leading contenders for the top prize. Will 'One Battle After Another', 'Hamnet', or 'Marty Supreme' take home the coveted award? Only time will tell.
 
im totally with the other side lol 😂 they're just trying to suck up to the powers that be, it's all about the optics. newsflash: if you want to make a real statement, you gotta ruffle some feathers, not play it safe like these winners did. i mean, who are we kidding? the real controversy is gonna come from the Oscars, and when it does, everyone's gonna be talking about how out of touch they were with the times 🤑
 
I'm loving how the Golden Globes have managed to stay true to their artistic roots, but what does this say about our cultural priorities? Are we more invested in escapism and entertainment than ever before? 🤔 I mean, let's be real, we're not even seeing a major black or Latino presence on the list. It's like the Hollywood establishment is trying to tell us that diversity is just a buzzword now, rather than an actual achievement. 💸 On the other hand, I'm all about celebrating the underdog and giving credit where it's due - Kleber Mendonca Filho's film 'The Secret Agent' was a game-changer for Brazilian cinema, and Wagner Moura's performance is pure magic ✨ So, while I'm thrilled to see these films taking home awards, we need to keep pushing for representation and inclusivity behind the scenes too 🌎
 
I'm not surprised the Golden Globes avoided politics this year 🙌, it's always refreshing to see some artistic freedom amidst all the controversy! I mean, have you seen 'One Battle After Another'? Paul Thomas Anderson is a genius and Leonardo DiCaprio is incredible in that film 🤩. The way he explores themes of disillusionment and rebellion really resonates with our current world. And I'm loving the recognition for Jessie Buckley's incredible performance as Agnes in 'Hamnet', she completely steals the show 💫. Can't wait to see how 'Marty Supreme' holds up – Timothée Chalamet is always a wild card 🤯. The diversity of winners this year is definitely a highlight, especially with Kleber Mendonca Filho's Brazilian film making waves in Hollywood 🌎. Fingers crossed for the Oscar ceremony, but I'm rooting for 'Hamnet' to take it all home 💖.
 
🤔 The Golden Globes always bring a mix of excitement and controversy, but this year's winners feel refreshingly focused on art rather than politics 🎥. I love how Paul Thomas Anderson's epic 'One Battle After Another' took home four wins, showcasing his masterful storytelling and DiCaprio's incredible performance 👏. Timothée Chalamet's range in 'Marty Supreme' is seriously impressive 🤯. Jessie Buckley's portrayal of Shakespeare's wife Agnes in 'Hamnet' gives me chills 💔. It's also awesome to see Rose Byrne shine in 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You'. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of diversity in some categories, but overall, this year's winners feel like a breath of fresh air 😌. Can't wait to see how the Oscars unfold 🤔🎉
 
🤔 I'm so glad to see the Golden Globes focusing on the art and storytelling behind these amazing films 🎥! Paul Thomas Anderson's 'One Battle After Another' is definitely a standout, but I think some of the snubs are gonna be super disappointing 🚫. Like, where's Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners'? That film was so powerful and timely... fingers crossed for its Oscar chances 😬. But overall, I love that we're seeing more female-led films like 'Hamnet' win big 👏. Jessie Buckley is absolutely incredible in that role 🤯. And can't wait to see how 'Marty Supreme' translates from the screen to awards season 🎉!
 
I'm low-key hyped about the winners of this year's Golden Globes 🤩🎉 I mean, Paul Thomas Anderson is a genius and his film 'One Battle After Another' is like, totally immersive... it's not surprising that it took home four awards! 💥 Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet's performance in 'Marty Supreme' was on point 🤸‍♂️ and Jessie Buckley absolutely nailed her role as Agnes in 'Hamnet'. Her acting skills are, like, wow 🙌. And Rose Byrne's win for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical is no surprise either - she's always been so underrated 🤷‍♀️. But what I'm really excited about is the potential for any of these films to take home an Oscar 🎬👏. Who do you think has a shot at winning? 🤔
 
I'm loving how the Golden Globes went all out on this one 🎉. I mean, it's not every day you see a film like 'One Battle After Another' dominating the ceremony like that. People are always going to bring up the politics and stuff, but honestly, can we just talk about how talented Paul Thomas Anderson is? He's a genius 🤯. And I'm so glad Timothée Chalamet got that award for his role in 'Marty Supreme'. That film was hilarious! 😂 Jessie Buckley as Shakespeare's wife Agnes though... wow. She gave the performance of a lifetime 👏. Can't wait to see who wins the Oscar 🤞
 
I'm calling BS on this "breath of fresh air" vibe 🙄. The Golden Globes have always been a joke when it comes to politics and diversity. Just because they didn't get too loud about it doesn't mean they're actually doing anything about it. And what's with the weird categories for comedy and musical? It's like they're trying to make Timothée Chalamet win by default 🤣. I need to see some real data on how diverse this year's winners are before I believe anything. Where's the source on that? 📊
 
I'm low-key hyped about this year's Golden Globes! The winners all seem super deserving, imo 🤩 #GoldenGlobes #AwardsSeason 🎬 The way Anderson brought the story to life with DiCaprio is truly mesmerizing 🔥 And that performance by Buckley in 'Hamnet' gave me ALL THE FEELS 😭 The diversity and representation on this list are also a huge win for the industry, let's keep pushing those boundaries 💪 #RepresentationMatters #InclusionAtItsBest 🌈
 
The way the Golden Globes always manage to keep it real, ya know? 🙌 I mean, they're not afraid to give those art-house films the love they deserve, even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. It's like, they're saying 'Hey, we care about this stuff!' And I'm all for that. The fact that Paul Thomas Anderson got Best Director for 'One Battle After Another' is a big deal, but it's also kinda low-key. Like, he's still a genius, but now everyone's gonna know it 🤑. And can we talk about Timothée Chalamet's performance in 'Marty Supreme'? That kid's got range, you know? He could do anything and I'd watch it. Jessie Buckley as Agnes Shakespeare is pure magic ✨. It's like she stole the scenes just by being there, you feel me? And Rose Byrne's dark comedy is like a punch to the gut – in the best possible way 😂. The Oscars are gonna be fun to watch this year! 🎥👏
 
I'm so down with the Golden Globes this year 🙌, but on the other hand, I think they're being super superficial and only focusing on popular movies like 'One Battle After Another'. I mean, what about all those indie films that deserve recognition too? 🤔 And have you seen the lack of diversity in nominees lately? It's kinda weird how some winners are getting their second Globe, but others who did similar work last year aren't even being considered. 🤷‍♀️ Can we please get a more inclusive voting process? 🙄
 
I gotta say, I'm loving how the Golden Globes are all about the art this year 🎥. No drama, just good vibes. I mean, Paul Thomas Anderson's film is actually really thought-provoking and I loved the performance from Jessie Buckley in 'Hamnet' 💔. But what's up with the omissions? You'd think Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' would be a contender for Best Picture 🤔. And can we talk about Wagner Moura's win for Best Actor? He totally deserved it 😎. I'm excited to see how this year's Oscars play out, but I gotta say, these four films are definitely in the running 👀.
 
🤩 just watched the Golden Globes and I gotta say, I'm loving the vibe this year 🎉! The awards are so spread out between different genres - comedy, drama, musical... it's like they're celebrating all the amazing stuff out there 🎬. And can we talk about Jessie Buckley's performance in 'Hamnet'?! 😍 she gives me LIFE as Agnes Shakespeare, I'm not even kidding, my heart is still racing from that scene ❤️. Also, Timothée Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio are giving each other some major competition for Best Actor 🤴🏻🎭. And 'Marty Supreme' is so underrated! 😂 Rose Byrne's performance in 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You' is a total dark horse win 🌟, who knew she had that kind of range? 👀 can't wait to see how the Oscars play out, but for now... just pure award season joy 💖
 
I feel like the Golden Globes just gave us a weirdly wonderful respite from all the chaos in the world 🙏. It's amazing how Paul Thomas Anderson's film managed to win over everyone with its stunning storytelling and Leo's iconic performance 🤯. I also love how Timothée Chalamet brought so much energy to 'Marty Supreme', it's like he totally embodied that ping-pong spirit 🎾! And Jessie Buckley, oh my gosh, she completely shattered me in 'Hamnet' - her portrayal of Agnes is just heart-wrenching 💔. I'm curious to see how the Oscars will play out though, fingers crossed for all these talented actors and filmmakers! 🤞
