Nomadland wins Best Picture in first ICFCA Awards

The inaugural Catholic Film Critics Awards is complete, with Nomadland winning Best Picture, and Minari taking the Human and Gospel Values Award.

In total, Nomadland claimed the most awards with three. The only other film going home with multiple awards was Minari, which also won Best Supporting Actress.

Chloe Zhao, whose film earned six nominations, won Best Director.

Best Picture was determined by Academy-style instant-runoff voting. Critics ranked each nominee in order of their preference, ensuring that the winning film has broad support.

Critics could vote for one film for the Human and Gospel Values Award, but the winner must also be approved by 50 percent of all voters in order to claim the award. Otherwise, no award would be given.

All other categories were determined by popular vote.
