The inaugural Girls On Film Awards took place in 2023 at the historic Garden Cinema in London, marking a bold new chapter in celebrating female-focused filmmaking. Reflecting the ethos of the Girls On Film podcast, the awards spotlighted powerful, diverse voices both in front of and behind the camera, championing underrepresented stories and creators.

Standout films included The Woman King and The Wonder, which led the field with multiple nominations, alongside overlooked gems like Causeway, Girl Picture, and Women Talking. Unique categories like Best Female Friendship, Best Ensemble Acting, and the bold Best Female Orgasm Award highlighted the nuanced, complex, and authentic stories often missed in mainstream ceremonies.

Supported by respected industry partners like EON Productions, IMDb, Netflix, and Intimacy on Set, the 2023 Girls On Film Awards broke new ground, celebrating those who challenge conventions and elevate the voices of women in film.
