The glitzy red carpet has been graced over the years by the biggest stars in Hollywood. From Angelina Jolie in shimmering Randolph Duke in 1999 to Charlize Theron’s 2004 Christian Dior gown to Cate Blanchett in (later recycled) black Armani Privé in 2014, the sartorial hits are too many to count.

“It feels like a punctuation mark that feels appropriate,” Sarah Jessica Parker tells The Times the day before receiving the Golden Globes’ Carol Burnett Award. “Not that I should even be getting this.”

There’s that trademark self-deprecating tone she shares with Carrie Bradshaw, her most indelible character that she played for the better part of three decades, first in “Sex and the City,” which ran for six seasons on HBO in the late 1990s and early 2000s, then in the reboot “And Just Like That…,” which concluded last year after its third season.

Nominations for the 83rd annual Golden Globes arrived before dawn on Monday and in a crowded awards season full of early feints and false starts, one film came away having clearly won the morning’s skirmish: “One Battle After Another.”

Paul Thomas Anderson’s ambitious movie — about former political radicals reckoning with middle age, compromise and the ideals they once wore more proudly — showed up nearly everywhere the Globes could put it, leading the field with nine nominations. It landed nods for best motion picture (musical or comedy), director, screenplay and several actors, marking the broadest show of support for any film and giving a still-unsettled Oscar race something resembling a focal point.

Erivo was nominated for a Golden Globe for lead actress in a musical or comedy on Monday morning, marking her second nod. She received her first nomination just a year ago for “Wicked.”
