2022 Online Association of Female Film Critics winners

The Online Association of Female Film Critics have announced their winners for the best in film for 2022, where Everything Everywhere All At Once led with 8, including Best Film, Best Director and three of the four acting awards.

Other multiple winners included Women Talking with three, RRR and The Banshees of Insherin with two apiece and individual wins for Nope (cinematography), Avatar: The Way of Water (visual effects), Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (costume design, tied with Everything Everywhere All At Once). Austin Butler won Breakthrough Performance for Elvis and Charlotte Wells won Breakthrough Director for Aftersun.

The OAFFC introduced five new categories this year, expanding their year-end awards from 12 categories (not counting special categories for Breakthrough Filmmaker and Breakthrough Performance, or the OAFFC’s signature award, The Rosie) to 17. Those categories and winners were: Best International Feature (RRR), Best Editing (Everything Everywhere All At Once), Best Costume Design ( a tie between Everything Everywhere All At Once and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris), Best Visual Effects (Avatar: The Way of Water) and Best Stunts (RRR).
