"In 1975 the Oscar nominees for Best Picture were Dog Day Afternoon, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Jaws, Nashville, and Barry Lyndon. There is no best among them. It is just what the mood might be that day. But we're happy to be part of this, a wonderful, wonderful journey with our fellow nominees, our fellow filmmakers that even weren't recognized by the Academy."
One Battle After Another secured the Best Picture award at the 2026 Academy Awards, capping a dominant awards-season performance that included victories at the Golden Globes, Producers Guild Awards, Critics Choice Awards, and Directors Guild Awards. Filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson won three Oscars in a single night, beginning the evening with none. In his acceptance speech, Anderson reflected on the subjectivity of award selections, referencing the 1975 Best Picture nominees to illustrate that no single film is objectively superior, suggesting awards reflect momentary preferences rather than definitive quality judgments.
