One Battle After Another was named best picture by the National Society of Film Critics in the group’s 60th annual vote Saturday.
In addition to the movie earning the top prize, One Battle After Another‘s Paul Thomas Anderson won best director; Benicio del Toro won best supporting actor; and Teyana Taylor won best supporting actress. The best actor prize went to Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon, rather than to One Battle After Another‘s lead, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Horror box-office hit Sinners earned Autumn Durald Arkapaw a win for cinematography, while 2025 Cannes Palme d’Or holder It Was Just an Accident recognized Jafar Panahi for best screenplay. He also directed and produced the picture.
Founded in 1966, the organization consists of more than 60 critics from prominent outlets across the country, including The Hollywood Reporter. The annual votes are in categories such as best picture, director, actor, actress, supporting actor and actress, screenplay and cinematography.
Voting is held via a weighted ballot system. On the first ballot, members vote for their top three choices, with the first choice receiving three points, the second receiving two points, and the third receiving one point. The nominee who receives the most points and appears on the majority of ballots wins. If no winner is declared on the first ballot, the category proceeds to a second ballot, and voting continues until a nominee earns the highest points and appears on the most ballots.
Last year, Nickel Boys won best picture, with Hard Truths, A Real Pain and All We Imagine as Light each receiving two awards.
