It was the night of Paul Thomas Anderson’s thriller, One Battle After Another, as the film scooped awards for best comedy or musical film, best director and screenplay at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday evening’s 83rd Golden Globe Awards. Teyana Taylor (in custom Schiaparelli) also claimed best supporting actress for her role in the film as anarchist Perdita Beverly Hills. The LA hotel’s usual red carpet was a sweeping staircase this year, allowing gowns to drape over the steps and in the case of Dwayne Johnson, stroll down with a glass of tequila. 

The ceremony in the ballroom kicked off with host, Nikki Glaser, making cracks about contenders with awards being collected as guests nibbled on sushi designed by Nobu’s signature chef, Nobu Matsuhisa. Plates on the tables included a caviar cup, lobster salad with spicy lemon dressing, salmon nigiri, tuna nigiri, and miso black cod while sushi rolls were made to order at a hideaway sushi station.

Timothée Chalamet sat chatting at his table wearing custom Chrome Hearts and Cartier with his girlfriend Kylie Jenner (in custom gold Ashi Studio) and Givenchy-clad Jennifer Lawrence, while Leonardo DiCaprio held court at another (wearing Dior). Chalamet took home the gong for best actor in a musical or comedy for Marty Supreme (saying his previous nominations at the event made the win ‘that much sweeter’), while Wagner Moura won best lead actor in a drama for his role in The Secret Agent,  which also landed best film not in the English language.

Best drama film went to Hamnet – with the award picked up by producer Steven Spielberg, while Ryan Coogler’s Sinners took best original score and box office achievement awards. Nominated for her supporting role in Sinners, Wunmi Mosaku revealed her pregnancy in a custom made canary yellow gown from Matthew Reisman. Rose Byrne was named best lead female actor in a comedy for Sundance hit  If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (and told the audience her husband Bobby Cannavale was at an exotic pet expo in New Jersey) as Stellan Skarsgård won male supporting actor for Sentimental Value. He implored audiences to support the theatrical experience of seeing films; ‘Hopefully you will see it in the cinema, because they are an extinguished species now. In a cinema, where the lights go down… That is magic. Cinema should be seen in cinemas.’

Both Anderson and Jessie Buckley (in Dior) expressed their love for their vocation when they ascended the winners podium. ‘I love doing what I do. So this is just fun,’ Anderson said, while Buckley declared ‘I love what I do and I love being part of this industry’. She also expressed a love of the Polish soup Hamnet key grip Tomasz Sternicki made on set. 

Julia Roberts earned a standing ovation when she presented an award wearing Giorgio Armani Prive and Macauley Culkin returned to the Globes stage for the first time in 35 years to hand out an award. ‘I do exist all year round!’ he joked. Backstage, Snoop Dogg hung out with Fran Drescher, the Hamnet team celebrated their win and Sean Penn caught up with Guillermo Del Toro.

The evening was also dominated by TV with Adolescence taking home best limited TV series, best actor for Stephen Graham, best supporting actress for Erin Doherty and best supporting actor for British teenager Owen Cooper who rocked Bottega Veneta and admitted he probably should have been revising for his exams. The gang headed to Spago’s post ceremony for the Netflix after-party attended by revellers including George and Amal Clooney…
