Last week, Dune led the 2021 North Carolina Film Critics Association's award nominations, but it's The Power of the Dog that today leads the winners. Jane Campion's Western wins six prizes from the North Carolina critics, just ahead of Dune's five, all of which are in technical categories. The NCFCA does have plenty of categories to accommodate several multiple prize-winners, so there's room for both Licorice Pizza and Mass to pick up a couple apiece. All the details below.
