The Banshees of Inisherin is the Alliance of Women Film Journalists' favourite film of 2022! It takes four awards here, including Best Film, but not Best Director: that goes instead to Women Talking's Sarah Polley, and that film also wins four. And another quadruple-honoree in the 2022 EDA awards is Everything Everywhere All at Once - no prizes, however, for guessing what these voters' three favourite movies of last year are! The Woman King, meanwhile, snags two prizes, and a further for Viola Davis. Check out these awards' nominations here, and the award winners below.
