It is so fulfilling to finally see a Paul Thomas Anderson film win the big prize. He's won my Dickie Award before (both for The Master, and for Magnolia - though it initially lost to American Beauty until I changed my mind years later 😉 - that's the beauty of the Dickie Awards!

One Battle is basically in a four-way tie for my second favorite PTA film (along with The Master, Boogie Nights, and Licorice Pizza), but Magnolia will always be my favorite. Nonetheless, this really did feel next-level in terms of scope and societal impact, and I'm just delighted by all he accomplished with this film. Woohoo! 💓🙌
