The Power of the Dog was the big winner at the 42nd annual London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, winning four major awards including the Film of the Year, while Campion herself was named Director of the Year. The film’s stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Kodi Smit-McPhee won Actor and Supporting Actor of the Year. It is Campion’s second film to take the Circle’s top honor, 28 years after The Piano triumphed in 1994.

Drive My Car by Japanese auteur Ryûsuke Hamaguchi won Foreign Language Film of the Year, while Hamaguchi and co-writer Takamasa Oe took the Screenwriter of the Year prize.

Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir Part II was named British/Irish Film of the Year — two years after its predecessor took the same honor.

Documentary of the Year went to musician and filmmaker Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson for his archival musical immersion Summer of Soul. Mitch Kalisa’s Play It Safe, a powerful reflection on performance and prejudice, won the British/Irish Short Film award.
