Life Achievement Award to Harrison Ford

- Ariana Granda, Wicked: For Good
- Teyana Taylor, One Battle After Another
- WINNER: Amy Madigan, Weapons
One more movie that we watched a year ago, “Weapons”; however, we could not review it in our Focus Magazine at that time. Still, to be honest, we can state that no doubt, another veteran actress, Amy Madigan, really stole the show with her villainy in this horror flick.

- Frankenstein
- One Battle After Another
