Film of the Year Winner

Everything Everywhere All At Once is a superb, funny, inventive and heartwarming film – a cinematic game changer that reaches the same impact as The Matrix in 1999 and Inception in 2010. – Kelechi Ehenulo

Actress of the Year Winner
Michelle Yeoh – Everything Everywhere All At Once
Michelle Yeoh has been part of acting royalty for a long time. To see her finally get her due in a role that caters to every nuance of her talent is the best thing about Daniels’ film. – Kelechi Ehenulo

Actor of the Year Winner
Colin Farrell – The Banshees of Inisherin
Colin Farrell’s performance in The Banshees of Inisherin is the summation of a stellar year with the Indie darling and The Batman proving his versatility. Here he showcases both his comedic talent but also a sense of isolation and detachment with as one might expect stellar chemistry with Brendan Gleeson, of course following their winning partnership in 2008’s In Bruges. – Chris Connor

Director of the Year Winner
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert – Everything Everywhere All At Once
Daniels have crafted a truly wonderful film with Everything Everywhere All At Once. There are a load of universes out there where this film wouldn’t work. But not this one. In this universe, Daniels have made a truly original and inventive film that’s a joy to watch. – Jed Wagman

Screenplay of the Year Winner
Martin McDonagh – The Banshees of Inisherin
Whilst the cast are rightfully getting praise, it’s McDonagh’s tight screenplay that is the unsung hero. This macabre breakup story resonates with its themes of existentialism and dialogue that is equally hilarious as it is heartbreaking. –
