London, 20 February 2024 – Barbie and Poor Things lead the way at the third annual Girls On Film

Dolan, Ronni Ancona, Sarah Gavron, Mia Bays, Col Needham, Mark Kermode and Nitin Sawhney were

The summer smash hit Barbie took home both the Production Design and Publicity Awards, for Warner
Brothers, at tonight’s awards ceremony with the new category for Costume Design won for the
exceptional work done by British costume designer Holly Waddington for Poor Things. Emma Stone

swim from Cuba to Florida. The ensemble Cast Award went to Bottoms.
The Girls On Film Ally Award, awarded to a male ally in the film industry who has demonstrated great
commitment to the representation of women this year and sponsored by IMDb, went to William Oldroyd
for Eileen. Reclaim The Frame, who champion marginalised perspectives in cinema, won this year’s
Activist Impact Award,
The Fiction Feature Award, sponsored by EON Productions, went to Celine Song’s exquisite Past Lives
and the Feature Documentary Award went to Kokomo City.
Reflecting the ethos of the Girls On Film podcast, hosted by Anna Smith, the awards reward excellence in
women-focused films in the fields of diversity, inclusion and the representation of women and people of
marginalised genders.
The voters for the Girls On Film Awards 2024 were predominantly leading and diverse women film critics
from around the UK, and male film critics who are allies and have appeared on the Girls On Film podcast.
The Girls On Film Awards were hosted by Anna Smith and Hedda Archbold on 20 February 2024 at
Regent Street Cinema in Central London, days after the EE BAFTA Film Awards and in the run-up to
International Women’s Day. The ceremony was attended by nominees, patrons and previous award
