Paul Thomas Anderson won two individual Golden Globe Awards at the 2026 ceremony. He received Best Director—Motion Picture and Best Screenplay—Motion Picture for One Battle After Another.
The result made Anderson one of the night’s most prominent individual film winners. His two awards were separate from the film’s other recognition, including the top musical-or-comedy picture prize and Teyana Taylor’s supporting-actor win.
Counting awards can be confusing because ceremonies often honor both productions and people. One Battle After Another earned four trophies overall, while Anderson personally collected two of those awards. The question asks for his individual total, not the film’s total.
