It looked inevitable, when the North Dakota Film Society announced the nominees for their 2021 awards, that The Power of the Dog would come out firmly on top, and that's exactly what it's gone and done. It wins eight of its 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director for Jane Campion, and three of the four individual acting prizes. Otherwise, only Dune and Flee manage to pull in more than one prize apiece, and even then it's only two. All the results below.
