There is no denying the quality of Netflix’s film The Power of The Dog. The film has been a talking point ever since it was released back in November 2021. Sure, it only was available on Netflix for the last month of the year, even then it made the world fall for it. Based on the novel by Thomas Savage, the film bagged 4 awards on Sunday night!
The Power of The Dog won Best Film of The Year, as well as director Jane Campion, took home the award for Best Director of The Year. Actors of the film also left their mark with Benedict Cumberbatch winning the Best Actor of The Year. The Award for Best Supporting Actor of The Year came to Kodi Smit-McPhee, for his role in the Netflix film.
Tick, Tick… BOOM and The Lost Daughter delivered as well
The Lost Daughter was a movie that made its way to our screens almost at the end of the year. However, it still left an impact on us, thanks to the brilliant performance of the actors and splendid direction. Olivia Colman deserves a special appreciation for her role in the movie, and she has received that with the Best Actress of The Year Award at the London Critics’ Circle Awards.
If anyone asks us to summarise 2021 in two words, we will proudly yell out “Andrew Garfield“. The owner of a chameleon accent, which is deceiving enough to make us believe he belongs to every single part of the world, is something we all will die for. Andrew Garfield won British/Irish Actor for 2021; thanks to his alluring work on various projects, including Netflix’s Tick, Tick… Boom!, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Mainstream.
