The Florida Film Critics Circle has announces the winners (and runners-up) of its 2020 awards. Kelly Reichardt's First Cow won another Best Picture prize, easily keeping up with its main competition, Chloe Zhao's Nomadland. Zhao won Best Director and her leading actress, Frances McDormand, won Best Actress.
