ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER Takes the Producers Guild of America’s Top Film Award
One Battle After Another is Oscar-Bound with PGA Win
One Battle After Another was named the best theatrical film release of 2025 by the Producers Guild of America.
One Battle After Another proved too strong a nemesis for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners as Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another was presented with the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Picture by the PGA. Meanwhile, Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters won the award for Outstanding Animated Feature over Zootopia 2.
Sinners was predicted to potentially upset One Battle After Another, but with almost every other preliminary award under Anderson’s film’s belt, it was not likely to happen. Tomorrow night, One Battle After Another will most likely reign triumphant at the Actor Awards (SAG)’s ceremony which is being aired live on Netflix.
One Battle After Another stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn and Chase Infiniti. It is a volatile action/drama that won Best Comedy at the Golden Globes this year. It revolves around a former revolutionary/father (DiCaprio) searching for his missing daughter (Infiniti) and the film features intense action scenes. It has been deemed one of the best films of Paul Thomas Anderson’s distinguished career, if not the best.
Del Toro and Penn are going head-to-head in the Best Supporting Actor category at both the Actor (SAG) awards and the Oscars this year. Penn has the upper hand with the more intense performance, but anything can happen when the actual winner is revealed. Leonardo DiCaprio is up for the Best Actor award at both ceremonies as well for his commanding leading performance in the film.
Sinners is a vampire movie that scored big at the box-office, but due to its overwhelming violence, it was always a long shot to win the PGA’s top prize. We’ll see if it can manage to beat One Battle After Another tomorrow night at the Actor awards for the top prize, but that would be a tremendous feat that Sinners is unlikely to achieve at this given point in time.
There were a few genuine surprises at the PGA awards. The Outstanding Producer of Televised or Streamed Motion Pictures award went to John Candy: I Like Me while the Outstanding Producer of Non-Fiction Television went to Pee-wee as Himself. The Outstanding Documentary Motion Picture was declared My Mom Jayne: A Film by Mariska Hargitay.
Last year, Anora scored victory at the PGA and went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture. History is likely to repeat itself with this year’s winner, One Battle After Another, going on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture of 2025.
