The group was formed in 2004 as the first women critics organization in the United States, in the belief that women&#8217;s perspectives and voices in film criticism needs to be recognized fully. WFCC also prides itself on being the most culturally and racially diverse critics group in America, and best reflects the diversity of movie audiences.<\/p>\n<p>The complete list of the 2020 winners and nominees honored by the WFCC is listed below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Movie About Women:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner<\/strong>: &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2020\/12\/23\/interview-christopher-mintz-plasse-talks-promising-young-woman-exclusive\/\">Promising Young Woman<\/a>&#8216;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner Up:<\/strong> &#8216;Never Rarely Sometimes Always&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Ammonite&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Antebellum&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Movie by a Woman:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2020\/12\/04\/new-york-film-festival-2020-interview-chloe-zhao-and-peter-spears-talk-nomadland\/\">Nomadland<\/a>&#8216; &#8211; Chloe Zhao<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner up<\/strong>: &#8216;Promising Young Woman&#8217; &#8211; Emerald Fennell<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Never Rarely Sometimes Always&#8217; &#8211; Eliza Hittman<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2021\/01\/21\/interview-leslie-odom-jr-aldis-hodge-and-the-cast-talks-one-night-in-miami\/\">One Night in Miami<\/a>&#8216; &#8211; Regina King<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Woman Storyteller (Screenwriting Award)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner<\/strong>: &#8216;Never Rarely Sometimes Always&#8217; &#8211; Eliza Hittman<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner up<\/strong>: &#8216;Promising Young Woman&#8217; &#8211; Emerald Fennell<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Nomadland&#8217; &#8211; Chloe Zhao<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The United States vs. Billie Holiday&#8217; &#8211; Suzan-Lori Parks<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Actress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> Carey Mulligan &#8211; &#8216;Promising Young Woman&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner up (tie):<\/strong> Frances McDormand &#8211; &#8216;Nomadland&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner up (tie):<\/strong> Vanessa Kirby &#8211; &#8216;Pieces of a Woman&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Andra Day &#8211; &#8216;The United States vs. Billie Holiday&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Actor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> Chadwick Boseman &#8211; &#8216;Ma Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner ip:<\/strong> Anthony Hopkins &#8211; &#8216;The Father&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Riz Ahmed &#8211; &#8216;Sound of Metal&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Tahar Rahim &#8211; &#8216;The Mauritanian&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Foreign Film By or About Women<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> &#8216;La Llorona&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner up:<\/strong> &#8216;True Mothers&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Truth (La Verite)&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Two of Us (Deux)&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Documentary by or About Women<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> &#8216;Stuntwomen: The Untold Hollywood Story&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner Up:<\/strong> &#8216;Time&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;All In&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I Am Greta&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Equality of the Sexes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> &#8216;Emma&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner up:<\/strong> I Care a Lot<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Malcolm &#038; Marie&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2020\/07\/24\/interview-marjane-satrapi-talks-radioactive-exclusive\/\">Radioactive<\/a>&#8216;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Animated Female<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> Fei Fei &#8211; &#8216;Over the Moon&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner up:<\/strong> Mebh Og MacTire &#8211; &#8216;Wolfwalkers&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Libba &#8211; &#8216;Soul&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Robyn Goodfellowe &#8211; &#8216;Wolfwalkers&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Screen Couple<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan &#8211; &#8216;Ammonite&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner up:<\/strong> Tom Hanks and Helena Zengel &#8211; &#8216;News of the World&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti &#8211; &#8216;Palm Springs&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Barbara Sukowa and Martine Chevallier &#8211; &#8216;Two of Us (Deux)&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adrienne Shelly Award<\/strong> \u2013 For a film that most passionately opposes violence against women<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shelly was a promising actress and filmmaker who was brutally strangled in her apartment in 2006 at the age of 40 by a construction worker in the building, after she complained about noise. Her killer tried to cover up his crime by hanging her from a shower rack in her bathroom, to make it look like suicide. He later confessed that he was having a bad day. Shelly, who left behind a baby daughter, had just completed her last feature film, &#8216;Waitress,&#8217; which she wrote, directed and starred in, and which was honored at the Sundance Film Festival after her death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> &#8216;Promising Young Woman&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner up:<\/strong> &#8216;The Invisible Man&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m Your Woman&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Assistant&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Josephine Baker Award \u2013 For best expressing the woman of color experience in America<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The daughter of a laundress and a musician, Baker overcame being born black, female and poor, and getting married at age 15, to become an internationally acclaimed legendary performer, and starring in such films as &#8216;Princess Tam Tam,&#8217; &#8216;Moulin Rouge&#8217; and &#8216;Zou Zou.&#8217; She also survived the race riots in East St. Louis, Illinois as a child, and later expatriated to France to escape U.S. racism.<\/p>\n<p>After heroically participating in the underground French Resistance during WWII, Baker returned to the U.S., where she was a crusader for racial equality. Her activism led to attacks against her by reporter Walter Winchell, who denounced her as a communist, which lead her to wage a battle against him. Baker was instrumental in ending segregation in many theaters and clubs, where she refused to perform unless integration was implemented.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> &#8216;Miss Juneteenth&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runner Up:<\/strong> &#8216;Ma Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Antebellum<\/p>\n<p>The Forty-Year-Old Version<\/p>\n<p><strong>Karen Morley Award \u2013 For best exemplifying a woman&#8217;s place in history or society, and a courageous search for identity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Morley was a promising Hollywood star in the 1930s, having starred in such films as &#8216;Mata Hari&#8217; and &#8216;Our Daily Bread.&#8217; She was later driven out of Hollywood for her leftist political convictions by the Blacklist, and for refusing to testify against other actors, while Robert Taylor and Sterling Hayden were informants against her. She also dared to have a child, which unacceptable for female stars in those days. Morley maintained her militant political activism for the rest of her life, and ran for Lieutenant Governor on the American Labor Party ticket in 1954.
