Benedict Cumberbatch will have to make room for some new silverware after The Power of The Dog won big at this year’s London Critics’ Circle Film Awards.

The Netflix Western, which is an adaptation of Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel, scooped four awards, including the coveted Film of the Year prize, Director of the Year for Jane Campion, Actor of the Year for Benedict Cumberbatch and Supporting Actor of the Year for his co-star Kodi Smit-McPhee.

Campion’s win for Power of The Dog marks her second time scooping the organisation’s top honour, coming 28 years after the first for 1994’s The Piano.

Other big winners were the Japanese film Drive My Car, which was named Foreign Language Film of the Year, while its director Ryusuke Hamaguchi was awarded the Screenwriter of the Year prize alongside his co-writer Takamasa Oe.

Olivia Colman was honoured with the Actress of the Year accolade for The Lost Daughter, after being snubbed by the Baftas.

While Tilda Swinton and Andrew Garfield were both recognised for their bodies of work in 2021.

Due to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic, the the 42nd annual awards ceremony was forced to take place virtually for the second year-in-a-row via the London Critics’ Circle YouTube channel on Sunday evening.

An in-person event to celebrate this year's winners is being planned for later in 2022.
