LOS ANGELES, Jan 9 — Hollywood’s awards season kicks into high gear on Sunday at the Golden Globes gala, with the politically charged One Battle After Another expected to solidify its status as the film to beat, two months ahead of the Oscars.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s screwball thriller, which centres on an aging revolutionary (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his teenage daughter (Chase Infiniti), is a rollicking ride featuring violent leftist radicals, immigration raids and white supremacists.
