The Critics Choice Awards may be the biggest deal of the day in the world of critics awards, but since when did that make them the better deal? The Latino Entertainment Journalists Association have their own awards to dish out, and they've done about as good a job as the CCA could ever hope to. Nomadland is the biggest winner here, taking four prizes including Best Picture which, alongside Best Director and Best Editing, gives three awards to Chloe Zhao alone. Check out LEJA's 2020/21 nominees here.
