The Florida Film Critics Circle has awarded Portrait of a Lady on Fire its Best Picture prize. The French language period piece tied with Marriage Story for the most wins, with three recognitions apiece in a race whose awards were spread across many different movies.
While Marriage Story led the nominations in seven categories, Portrait of a Lady on Fire managed to win four of its five nominations. Director Céline Sciamma was chosen as Best Director, with Sam Mendes as runner up for 1917. Portrait also topped the Best Foreign Language category in which Parasite came in second. Marriage Story, meanwhile, swept three of the top four acting categories with Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson winning for Best Actor and Actress, respectively, and Laura Dern narrowly beating out both Margot Robbie (Bombshell) and Isla Fisher (The Beach Bum) for Best Supporting Actress.
