2021 Online Association of Female Film Critics awards winners announced
The votes are in, and guess which movie is the Online Association of Female Film Critics' favourite of 2021! Go on, guess! Or shall I tell you? Do I need to? Is it The Power of the Dog, like it has been at practically half the other critics' groups' awards this season? Why, yes, it most certainly is! Not that it isn't deserving, of course - Jane Campion's modern Western is as worthy a Best Film award winner as voters have this year, and I'm delighted to see it continue to bulldoze its way through the early weeks of the current awards season. You can remind yourself of the OAFFC's 2021 award nominations here, and check out all the winners below.
