This is one of the biggest cinema events in North America. This year, due to the global outbreak of COVID-19, the organisers only announced the award winners online instead of holding a get-together as in previous years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmong the 14 quality contenders, this film was flush with actors we\u2019d never heard of before but now anxiously await to see again, telling a visceral story of desperation with just the right amount of humour and room to breathe.
