2026 ICS: ‘One Battle After Another’ Finds the Rendezvous Point — Nabs Dozen Noms

Leading with a dozen noms, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another nunchuked the hell out of the upcoming International Cinephile Society awards landing a whopping dozen nominations. Not far behind, earning 10 nominations with all its Recife bliss, Kleber Mendonça Filho’s The Secret Agent also got a nom for Tânia Maria in the Best Supporting Actress category – her Dona Sebastiana is just as memorable as Wagner Moura’s turn in the film. Winners of the 23rd ICS Awards will be announced on February 8th.
