Phoenix, Arizona may be a long way from Belfast, Northern Ireland, but that certainly hasn't stopped its film critics from raving about its semi-biographical new movie. Kenneth Branagh's Belfast wins five of the Phoenix Film Critics Society's 2021 awards including Best Picture, Director and Original Screenplay. The group's technical categories, meanwhile, were dominated by Dune, also winning five. Check out all the winners below.
