While we&#8217;ve gotten plenty of great films this year, One Battle After Another feels like the first prestige movie that&#8217;s gaining some traction.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Warner Bros&amp;period; Pictures<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite being one of the greatest American filmmakers, Anderson has never actually won an Oscar. That&#8217;s almost certainly going to change.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As of right now, it&#8217;s safe to say that One Battle After Another is the early favorite to win Best Picture at the 2026 Academy Awards, along with many other awards. A lot of people might want to see Sinners win big, but the Academy notoriously hates horror films.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Perhaps it would&#8217;ve had a chance had One Battle After Another not been so good. Hamnet from Academy darling Chlo\u00e9 Zhao could gain some momentum, but it&#8217;s hard to imagine an Oscar-type movie being better than One Battle After Another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This is finally the year to give Anderson his flowers, the same way Christopher Nolan finally won his Oscar for Oppenheimer a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/paul-thomas-anderson-reveals-one-225848357.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Paul Thomas Anderson Reveals One Franchise He Wish He Could've Directed Film For;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Paul Thomas Anderson Reveals One Franchise He Wish He Could&#8217;ve Directed Film For<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One Battle After Another might not have been as hyped up as Superman or The Fantastic Four: First Steps to the general public, but it might have been the most anticipated movie for cinephiles.
