Alliance of Women Film Journalists announces 2022 award winners
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.
