‘One Battle After Another’ Leads Astra Film Awards Nominations Among Titans Like ‘Sinners’ And ‘Sentimental Value

The Hollywood Creative Alliance has announced the nominees for their 2025 Astra Film Awards, which will take place on Friday, January 9th, 2026 in Los Angeles. The ceremony will live-stream on KNEKT.tv and YouTube with all the details like host and venue coming soon.

But that’s really not what we’re here for, we’re here to see the nominees for all the various end-of-year awards. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another led the nominations, earning recognition for Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical, Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical, Best Director for Anderson, and four supporting nominations for Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, and Benicio del Toro.

Tying for second place were Ryan Coogler’s Sinners and Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value. Both films earned nine nominations including Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, as well as multiple acting nominations such as Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan and Best Actress for Renate Reinsve.

Other top nominated films include A24’s Marty Supreme with six, Focus Features’ Hamnet with six, Universal Pictures’ Wicked: For Good with five, Warner Bros.’ Weapons with five, Netflix’s Jay Kelly with five, Netflix’s Frankenstein with four, Focus Features’ Bugonia with four, Netflix’s Train Dreams with four, and Neon’s No Other Choice with four.

Additionally, this year the Hollywood Creative Alliance has officially split Best Picture and all acting categories into two separate groups: Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical. The proposed change was put to a full vote of the HCA membership, which currently consists of 310 members. 60 percent of the current membership supported updating the award structure.
