Paul Thomas Anderson Wins at 78th Directors Guild Awards for 'One Battle After Another'
Paul Thomas Anderson's win at the 78th Directors Guild of America Awards strengthens his film's status as a leading Oscar contender, with nine of the last 10 winners also winning Best Director.
- On Saturday, Paul Thomas Anderson won the Directors Guild of America’s top prize for One Battle After Another at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
- The film's awards momentum with wins from critics groups, the Gotham Awards and Golden Globes left One Battle After Another a favorite for the March 15, 2026 Oscars.
- Anderson, who had been nominated twice before, received the statuette from Sean Baker, last year’s DGA winner, and paid tribute to Adam Somner, saying, `May you be blessed with the relationship I had with him.`
- Historically the DGA is a strong Oscars bellwether: Twenty of the last 23 recipients have won the Academy Awards, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s victory clears his path after three prior nominations.
- As the Oscars on March 15 approach, Nolan presided over his first DGA ceremony amid warnings of `very hard times` and about 40 employment declines as the guild begins contract talks on Monday.
