2021 Southeastern Film Critics Association award winners announced
Another critics' group, another commanding performance by Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog. It wins six awards, including Best Film, from the Southeastern Film Critics Association, one of the older groups around, whose annual picks for the best of the year in film are among the most prestigious critics' prizes. Among the titles lucky enough to pick up what The Power of the Dog left, only Dune is able to rack up more than one, while Spencer's Kristen Stewart is the only acting winner not from the Best Film recipient.
