Nomadland wins six Alliance of Women Film Journalists awards
Nomadland really wiped the floor with the competition at the Alliance of Women Film Journalists awards this year. It won across all six Best Of categories where it was nominated, trouncing its competitors in an exceptionally strong year for female representation on the awards circuit. That left other female-directed nominees with mere scraps - only Promising Young Woman could rustle up a top category win for its filmmaker in Original Screenplay. Check out the results in full below.
