Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees Of Inisherin went home empty-handed, despite having scored multiple previous wins and nine total CCA nominations.
The film was beaten in the best picture category by Everything Everywhere All At Once, and McDonagh also lost out to the sc-fi thriller’s creators Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert for best director.
The film’s star Colin Farrell – who won the Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy earlier this week – was beaten for the top acting award by Brendan Fraser.
Farrell and his costar Brendan Gleeson did not attend the ceremony on Sunday after testing positive for Covid-19, according to reports by US media outlets.
Kerry Condon also lost out in the CCA best supporting actress to Black Panther star Angela Bassett.
The only win for British talent came from Daniel Radcliffe, who won best actor in a limited series or movie made for television, for his performance in Weird: The Al Yankovic story.
The Harry Potter star, who plays the US musical comedian in his spoof biopic, was not present at the ceremony to collect the award.
In the television categories, Matt Smith and House Of The Dragon also lost out – with Smith beaten for best supporting actor in a drama series by Giancarlo Esposito.
