Ken Hanke Memorial Tarheel Award Will Patton, MINARI
Nice to see a slight change of pace with Minari getting some wins finally. The Memorial prize they give each year is for someone with a North Carolina connection. We wish more critics groups would focus on regional prizes. It's a great way to distinguish yourself and honor your community! Will Patton is an alum of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem.

Best Woman's Breakthrough Performance Sidney Flanagan, NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS
If they won one of the main categories they are ineligible here which is why Fennel and not Zhao, for instance, is named here as Best Woman Director because Zhao had already won the "main" prize.
It seems odd to give "22" a Best Female citation when "22" and the souls in general are coded as genderless in the Pixar movie; all the souls go by either numbers or the unisex name "Jerry" and 22 even makes a point that they could sound like anything but chose this particular voice (aka Tina Fey's voice) because it would annoy people the most.
The AWFJ has other special mention and group citations as well which you can read at their site.
