Penelope Cruz won best actress award for her role as a photographer and new mother in Pedro Almodóvar’s ‘Parallel Mothers.’ Simon Rex won best actor award for his role as an ex-porn star in Sean Baker’s ‘Red Rocket.’
The nonfiction film ‘Flee,’ about an Afghan refugee, won best animated film, while Questlove’s ‘Summer of Soul,’ about a virtually forgotten music festival in the summer of 1969, won the prize for best documentary.
