The Void came into the night with 5 nominations and it has already taken home 3 trophies.

AND THE AWARD GOES TO....

In his third nomination, Jeff Nichols finally manages to win the Best Director GRA trophy. The Void is now 3-for-5 on the night, tying Rodeo for the most awarded film of this ceremony heading into the final and biggest category. The night is done for Run For Your Life, winning in only once of its three categories.

And the big award of the night goes to The Void. The film ends the night with the most wins of the night with four, narrowly edging out Rodeo's three trophies. It is the first solo Best Picture win for writer Jimmy Ellis. He shares two previous Best Picture wins with co-writer John Malone (Elysian in Season 13 and Klondike in Season 19).
