The Nevada Film Critics Society (NFCS) found a lot to like about Hell or High Water. So much so that they gave it their Best Film, Supporting Actor (Ben Foster), Director and Original Screenplay awards today.

It was also a good day for 20th Century Women. The film rebounded a bit in the critics’ awards race with wins for Annette Bening in Best Actress and Greta Gerwig in Best Supporting Actress. Arrival won another Adapted Screenplay award and Oscar frontrunners La La Land and Moonlight came away with two wins apiece.
