Last night (March 13), Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza took home the award for Best Original Screenplay at the British Academy Film Awards. The director wasn’t at the ceremony to accept the prize himself, so Jonny Greenwood (who wrote the title theme) and Alana Haim stepped in on his behalf. Watch it happen below.
Earlier this month, Haim released the new song “Lost Track”—which had appeared with screenings of Licorice Pizza—along with a video directed by Anderson. Licorice Pizza is up for three Academy Awards at the end of March: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, with Greenwood earning a separate Best Original Score nomination for his work on Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog.
