In their inaugural awards, the Minnesota Film Critics Alliance (MFCA) voted Nomadland as the best picture of 2020 and Chloé Zhao as best director. The film also won for its cinematography.
Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods) and Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) tied for Best Actor, Carey Mulligan was named Best Actress for Promising Young Woman and the supporting awards went to Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) and Yuh-jung Youn (Minari). Wolfwalkers won animated film.
