One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, had a big night at the Academy Awards on Sunday, as the film bagged several awards during the ceremony and capped the evening by taking home the top honour for Best Picture.
The film was one of the strongest contenders at the awards show. It competed against several other major films, including Bugonia by Yorgos Lanthimos, Marty Supreme starring Timothee Chalamet and directed by Josh Safdie, F1 by Joseph Kosinski, Hamnet directed by Chloe Zhao, The Secret Agent by Kleber Mendonca Filho, Sentimental Value by Joachim Trier, Sinners by Ryan Coogler, Train Dreams by Clint Bentley, and Frankenstein directed by Guillermo del Toro.
At the Oscars, the film took home the top prize, finishing the evening with six Oscars in total.
During the ceremony, the DiCaprio starrer was in a head-to-head battle with Sinners, with both films winning major awards throughout the night.
The movie is loosely based on the novel Vineland written by Thomas Pynchon. In the film, DiCaprio plays Bob, a former revolutionary who was once part of the far-left group French 75. His life changes when he is forced to return to action to save his daughter Willa, played by Chase Infiniti.
The film received a total of 13 nominations at the Oscars. Director Paul Thomas Anderson won awards for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, while Sean Penn won Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film.
One Battle After Another had already gained attention earlier in the awards season. It won Best Picture - Comedy or Musical at the Golden Globe Awards, where Anderson also received the Best Director award. Because of its success at the Golden Globes, many believed the film would perform strongly at the Oscars as well.
