A few attendees at Fridays star-studded AFI Awards, however, had some tough decisions to make.

And, of course,Laura Dern.

(Shes expected to contend for the equivalent Oscar forMarriage Story.)

Little Women / Marriage Story

Wilson Webb/Columbia; Wilson Webb/Netflix

In the mingling that preceded the program, Dern caught up with fellow attendees includingBrad PittandPhoebe Waller-Bridge.

As with every movie, a clip was shown, and it featured Dern front and center.

The moment it ended, the very next winner was announced:Marriage Story.

She made it safely before theMarriage Storyclip (a two-hander betweenAdam DriverandScarlett Johansson) ended.

Thats how do you do awards season like a pro.
