The Women Film Critics Circle announced its winners for the year last week and we're just now getting to them. And even though “The Homesman” led the way with nominations, it was “Still Alice” that was the big winner, taking every prize for which it was nominated.

However, there are some oddities. Films that weren't even nominated for categories like Best and Worst Female Images in Movies ended up winning those prizes. The stated reasoning behind an award for Seth Rogen and James Franco is sort of bizarre and tough to follow. Suddenly Oprah Winfrey in “Selma” qualifies as an action star. One previous winner was announced during the nominations stage and then when winners were revealed, suddenly found herself tied for the honor. Etc.

Anyway, follow along with the winners below if you can. Nominations are here. And the rest of the season's offerings are at The Circuit.
