It's been a fantastic year so far for Chloé Zhao, who last night added further Best Film and Best Director awards to her collection for Nomadland at the Critics Choice Awards. It was eight-year-old Alan Kim from Minari, however, who stole the show when accepting the award for Best Young Actor or Actress, overwhelmed by emotion and struggling to hold back tears as he thanked his fellow cast members and apologised as if worried about being unprofessional.

The awards, which are usually announced in December but were delayed this year because of the pandemic, represent the votes of members of the American-Canadian Critics Choice Association. As well as film, they cover television, and this year saw John Boyega win for his work in TV/film crossover project Red, White And Blue.
