Portrait of a Lady on Fire wins Best Movie at Chlotrudis Awards
Typically, the Chlotrudis Awards take place some time after awards season has concluded. But this is far from a typical awards season, so we're still well in the thick of it, and the Chlotrudis Society has chosen far from a typical pick for their top prize. Celine Sciamma's 2019 romantic drama Portrait of a Lady on Fire, ineligible for the society's awards last year, triumphs this year instead, winning Best Movie and Best Cinematography for Claire Mathon. Sciamma and Mathon weren't the only female prize winners outside of female-only categories, with awards also going to writer/director Eliza Hittman for Never Rarely Sometimes Always, writer Sarah Gubbins for Shirley, composer Mica Levi for Lovers Rock, and documentarian Garrett Bradley for Time.
