The The Me Too and Time&#8217;s Up movements have become especially prevalent in Hollywood, as actresses and female filmmakers continue to strive to protect their advancements and achievements in movies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wfcc.wordpress.com\/\">The Women Film Critics Circle<\/a> (WFCC), the first national American association of women critics, supports the protection and accurate representation of women in media. The group has voted on the best representations of women in films released in 2018. It honored the strengths of such movies as &#8216;The Favourite&#8217; and &#8216;Roma.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>WFCC is an association of 75 women film critics and scholars from around the country and internationally, who are involved in print, radio, online and TV broadcast media. Launched in 2004, WFCC became the first women critics&#8217; organization in the United States, in the belief that women&#8217;s perspectives and voices in film criticism need to be recognized fully. WFCC also prides itself on being the most culturally and racially diverse critics group in the country by far, and best reflecting the diversity of movie audiences.<\/p>\n<p>The complete list of winners and nominees honored by the WFCC in 2018 is listed below, with the winners marked in bold in each category:<\/p>\n<p><strong>WFCC AWARDS 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST MOVIE ABOUT WOMEN<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>&#8216;The Favourite&#8217;<\/strong><br \/>\nRunner-up: &#8216;Roma&#8217;<br \/>\nOther Nominees: &#8216;Mary Shelley&#8217; and &#8216;Widows&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST MOVIE BY A WOMAN<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>&#8216;Can You Ever Forgive Me?&#8217;<\/strong><br \/>\nRunner-up: &#8216;Leave No Trace&#8217;<br \/>\nOther Nominees: &#8216;The Kindergarten Teacher&#8217; and &#8216;You Were Never Really Here&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST WOMAN STORYTELLER [Screenwriting Award]<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Audrey Wells, &#8216;The Hate U Give&#8217; (Awarded posthumously)<\/strong><br \/>\nRunner-up: Debra Granik, &#8216;Leave No Trace&#8217;<br \/>\nOther Nominees: Sara Colangelo, &#8216;The Kindergarten Teacher&#8217; and Tamara Jenkins, &#8216;Private Life&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST ACTRESS<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Olivia Colman, &#8216;The Favourite&#8217;<\/strong><br \/>\nRunner-up: Toni Collette, &#8216;Hereditary&#8217;<br \/>\nOther Nominees: Viola Davis, &#8216;Widows&#8217; and Maggie Gyllenhaal, &#8216;The Kindergarten Teacher&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEST ACTOR<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2018\/03\/22\/sxsw-2018-interview-ethan-hawke-and-sybil-rosen-blaze-exclusive\/\">Ethan Hawke<\/a>, &#8216;First Reformed&#8217;<\/strong> (The performer enthusiastically gave the following reply when he was informed of being named Best Actor: &#8220;This is fantastic!
