The latest critics group to decide on its 2021 award winners is also one of the newest: the Portland Critics Association, which today declared The Green Knight to be its favourite movie of 2021. Despite its Best Picture win, however, David Lowery's fantasy flick won no other prizes from the PCA, which instead found three top awards to throw The Power of the Dog's way and a gargantuan seven tech awards for Dune. Remind yourself of the Portland critics' inaugural awards nominations here.
