The Zone Of Interest and All Of Us Strangers dominated at the 44th annual London Critics’ Circle Awards – receiving three awards each.
British director Jonathan Glazer took home director of the year for The Zone Of Interest, which focuses on the lives of Rudolf Hoss, the commandant of Auschwitz, and his wife, Hedwig.
The film, based on the novel of the same name by Martin Amis, also picked up the awards for film of the year and technical achievement.
Andrew Haigh’s drama All Of Us Strangers was awarded British/Irish film of the year, as well as picking up actor of the year for its lead Andrew Scott.
The Irish actor took to the stage to accept the honour and highlighted the film’s success at the box office.
“Don’t say those films don’t make money,” he joked and noted that the critic’s response to the film, which focuses on two gay men living in a London tower block, gave it a platform for greater audience attention.
Paul Mescal won British/Irish performer of the year for his body of work over the past 12 months.
The awards ceremony, which celebrates British, Irish and international achievements in film, took place at London’s May Fair Hotel on Sunday.
