PTA's 'One Battle After Another' and 'Marty Supreme' Win Big at Location Managers Guild Awards

The Location Managers Guild International handed out their awards Saturday night, and Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" walked away with top honors. "Marty Supreme" also took home major recognition at the ceremony.

The LMGI Awards celebrate the craft of location scouting and shooting across film, TV, commercials, and more — basically, the behind-the-scenes work that makes a place become a character in a story. It's the kind of award that film nerds pay attention to because it recognizes the real work that goes into making a movie feel alive and grounded.

PTA's dominance in this space makes sense; his films have always been rooted in real spaces and real geography, even when the story gets wild. "Marty Supreme" making noise here too signals that location work is being taken seriously across different kinds of projects right now.

These awards don't always get the mainstream buzz that Golden Globes or Critics Choice pull, but they matter to the people who actually make movies. Worth peeping the full list to see which films and TV shows impressed the pros.
