The African-American Film Critics Association has declared its award winners for the 2020/21 movie season, with Judas and the Black Messiah coming out on top. It takes three prizes from AAFCA members, including Best Picture and acting category wins for Daniel Kaluuya and Dominique Fishback. Three prizes also for Regina King's One Night in Miami, including one for King herself in Best Director. Alas, for their shame, they've also found space in their Top 10 Films for Nate Parker's American Skin. From the sublime to the stupid!
