Timothée Chalamet, 'One Battle After Another' bag major honours at Grammys

Timothée Chalamet and One Battle After Another separately emerged as major winners during awards season on Sunday night, as the film dominated the 46th annual London Critics’ Circle Film Awards in the British capital.

The Paul Thomas Anderson-directed project walked away with four honours, cementing its strong critical momentum.

The night’s top prize, Film of the Year, went to One Battle After Another, while Anderson himself was doubly recognised, taking home both Director of the Year and Screenwriter of the Year. 

Sean Penn added to the film’s success by winning the award for Supporting Actor, further underlining the project’s broad acclaim among critics.

Chalamet also had a standout evening, winning Actor of the Year for his performance in Marty Supreme. 

The win marked his return to the London Critics’ Circle spotlight, having last claimed the same honour in 2018 for Call Me By Your Name. The timing proved fitting, as the actor was in London over the weekend to host a pair of Q&A sessions for Marty Supreme.

Elsewhere at the ceremony, Jessie Buckley was named Actress of the Year for Hamnet, while Amy Madigan earned the Supporting Actress award for her work in Weapons. 

Netflix’s Kpop Demon Hunters, which is ineligible for the BAFTAs, also picked up a notable win, marking what may be its only major recognition on British soil.

The evening also included special honours celebrating career achievements. Cynthia Erivo received the Derek Malcolm Award for Innovation, recognising a body of work that includes Widows, Harriet, Bad Times at the El Royale and the Wicked films. 

Guillermo del Toro was presented with the Dilys Powell Award for Excellence in Film, adding another prestigious accolade to his career.

The London Critics’ Circle Film Awards are voted on by 207 members of the Film Section of the Critics’ Circle, the U.K.’s longest-standing and most respected critics’ organisation, making the wins a significant stamp of approval from the country’s leading film voices.
