In recent years, the Online Film Critics Society has increasingly fallen in line with the critical consensus in their year-end awards, and 2020 is no exception. They've selected Chloe Zhao's Nomadland as the best film of the year, also honouring it with five further awards, including three for Zhao herself. Star Frances McDormand wins another Best Actress award, while Best Actor goes to Delroy Lindo from Da 5 Bloods, which led last week's nominations.
