Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another has been nominated for nine awards, including best director.

The Neon release's eight nominations included nods for four of its actors: Stellan Skarsgård, Renate Reinsve, Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas.
As the Globes continue to transition out of their scandal-plagued past, there's one notable change this year.
For the first time, the Globes are giving a best podcast trophy.
That adds to the two-year-old award for cinematic and box-office achievement, a prize that so far has gone to Barbie and Wicked.
The Globe nominations, a tattered but persistent rite in Hollywood, are coming on the heels of a potentially seismic shift in entertainment.
On Friday, struck a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery for $US72 billion ($A109 billion).
On Monday, Paramount made a hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, challenging Netflix.
Paramount said Monday that it is going straight to Warner Bros. shareholders with a $US30 ($A45) per share in cash offer for the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery, including its Global Networks segment, asking them to reject the deal with Netflix.
That is the same bid that Warner Bros. rejected in favour of the offer from Netflix in a merger that would alter the US entertainment landscape.
After a series of scandals for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group that previously put on the ceremony, the Globes were sold in 2023 to Todd Boehly's Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions, a part of Penske Media.
A new, larger voting body of more than 300 people now votes on the awards, which have moved from NBC to CBS under a shorter, less expensive deal.
Nikki Glaser is returning as host to the January 11 Globes, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
In January, Glaser won good reviews for her first time emceeing the ceremony.
Ratings were essentially unchanged, slightly dipping to 9.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen, from 9.4 million in 2024.
In the early goings on in Hollywood's awards season, Anderson's One Battle After Another has dominated and is seen as the Oscar best picture front-runner.
Also in the mix are Chloé Zhao's Hamnet, Trier's Sentimental Value and Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme.
Helen Mirren will receive the Cecil B DeMille Award in a separate prime-time special airing January 8.
Sarah Jessica Parker will be honoured with the Carol Burnett Award.
