One Battle After Another has scooped Best Picture at the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards held in Santa Monica, California.

The film also took home the award for Paul Thomas Anderson as Best Director.

The win comes just a day after the film also won the top award from the National Society of Film Critics.

Best Actress went to Jessie Buckley for Hamnet, and Best Actor to Timothée Chalamet for Marty Supreme.

"I'll just say thank you to my partner of three years," Chalamet told his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, who was seated in the audience. "Thank you for our foundation. I love you."

The ceremony, hosted for the second year running by comedian Chelsea Handler, honoured the finest achievements of filmmaking and television programming in 2025.
