2021 Vancouver Film Critics Circle award winners announced

It's a distinctly different story between the two top winners in the Vancouver Film Critics Circle's 2021 awards. On the Canadian front, there's All My Puny Sorrows, which wins four prizes including Best Picture. Then, on the international front, there's The Power of the Dog, which wins Best Picture and nothing else at all. So, yes, there's now little doubt that the crowd has decided Kodi Smit-McPhee won't be winning an Oscar this year and that, instead, it'll go to CODA's Troy Kotsur, while Andrew Garfield is quietly becoming an ever stronger contender himself for tick, tick...BOOM! Remind yourself of the 2021 VFCC award nominations here if you like.
