41st London Film Critics' Circle Awards 7 February 2021
Film of the Year: Nomadland
British/Irish Film of the Year: Saint Maud
The 41st London Film Critics' Circle Awards honoured the best in film of 2020, as chosen by the London Film Critics' Circle. The event was held virtually on the Critics' Circle's YouTube channel for the first time on 7 February 2021, with awards presented by member critics who serve on the event's organising committee and acceptance videos from almost all of the winners. An in-person celebration with nominees and winners occurred later in the year along with long-time sponsors The May Fair Hotel and Audi. The nominations were announced on 12 January 2021; due to the then-rising COVID-19 pandemic, more films released directly to streaming services were made eligible, and the qualifying release dates were extended into March 2021, as long as films had been screened in 2020 to critics or at festivals.
