46th Annual Film Awards set for 1 February 2026 at The May Fair
Jessie Buckley, winner of Actress of the Year for âHamnetâ at the 46th London Criticsâ Circle Film Awards.
âThis is such an honour. It was my absolute privilege to give voice to Agnes, this incredible woman, this epic mother, this daughter of a forest witch, this wife of Shakespeare, who, until this moment, has in some way been misunderstood and miscast in her own life.â

The Criticsâ Circle is delighted to announce that pioneering filmmaker, critic and academic Laura Mulvey has been welcomed as an honorary and full member of its Film Section. Mulvey is internationally renowned as one of the most influential voices in film studies. Her groundbreaking 1975 essay âVisual Pleasure and Narrative Cinemaâ transformed the way scholars and critics understand representation, spectatorship and gender in film, introducing ideas that continue to shape contemporary film criticism and academic debate.
Duncan Cowles, winner of British/Irish Short Film of the Year for âNeil Armstrong and the Langholmitestâ at the 46th London Criticsâ Circle Film Awards.
âI wasnât expecting to come up, so this is really lovely... Short films often get overlooked so it really means a lot to get something like this and to be in a room with these intimidating people.â
