2016 New York Film Critics Circle Award Winners

Since nine this morning the group started to vote and a few minutes ago finally reached the last category to after too-many hours of voting unveil the winners of this group that many call "harbingers of the Oscar nominations" but unfortunately last year was far very-far away from what happened, as Carol was barely honored by the Academy.

These are the award winners listed at the group official site.

Best Feature Film: La La Land

Best Non-Fiction Film (Documentary): O.J.: Made in America
Best Animated Film:  Zootopia
Best Foreign Language Film: Toni Erdmann

Best Director: Barry Jenkins for Moonlight
Best First Film:  Kelly Fremon Craig for The Edge of Seventeen and Trey Edward Shults for Krisha

Best Actress: Isabelle Huppert in Elle and L'Avenir (The Things to Come)
Best Supporting Actress: Michelle Williams in Manchester by the Sea and Certain Women

Best Actor:  Casey Affleck in Manchester by the Sea
Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali in Moonlight

Best Cinematographer: James Laxton for Moonlight
Best Screenplay: Keneth Lonergan for Manchester by the Sea

Special Award
Thelma Schoonmaker and Julie Dash for Daughters of the Dust (25th Anniversary Restoration)

To check the list at the official site go here.

Seems clear that East Coast industry groups -Gotham and NYFCC- have honored Isabelle Huppert with the Best Actress awards, now we have to wait to see what happens in the West Coast but the wait will not be long as next Sunday, December 4 Los Angeles major film critics group will vote their awards.  If LAFCA also honors Huppert then her chances for an Oscar nomination will highly improve as well as perhaps even get the award.  But we have to remember that film critics and Academy members are not the same and many years have shown to be very different in what they honor.

This year I'm not really interested in many categories, with the exception of Best Actress that hope could be interesting, less conventional and yes, honor Isabelle Huppert!!! (LOL!).

#Oscars2018 Makeup and Hairstyling Shortlist

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday that seven (7) films remain in competition in the Makeup and Hairstyling category for the 90th Academy Awards. On Saturday, January 6, 2018, all members of the Academy’s Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch will be invited to view 10-minute excerpts from each of the seven shortlisted films. Following the screenings, members will vote to nominate three films for final Oscar consideration. Seems that this year there were not many films that qualified for this category and as far as what is happening up-to-today, this category is the first that will not have five nominations. But what puzzles me most is the reason why behind NOT including films like The Shape of Water, Blade Runner 2049 or even Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  Perhaps is because now lines between VFX and makeup blur, especially for us viewers and for those who are trying to guess something in current awards season. The films are listed below in alphabeti...

43rd Annual Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards Winners

The so-called " most powerful " group of American critics voted their 2017 awards and top award went to Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name which is a surprise in the sense that film in America was the object of negative reviews, especially those related to film story being about " gay statutory rape " (sic). Sigh. Then, under group standards believe voting was "fast" as only took five-and-a-half hours and I recall voting for longer than six hours, lol.  Still was too-long for me to follow live. Most interesting were the awards given to female actors as it's great to see outstanding Sally Hawkins being honored as she has had many-many great performances along her career and Laurie Metcalf being recognized for her work in the big screen. No doubt that group liked Guadagnino's film but thanks to them Guillermo del Toro's latest film has been put in the awards race.  Notorious is how once again the west coast film critics honors differ from...

90th Academy Awards Foreign Language Films Submissions

10/6/17 Update - AMPAS surprised many of us with what we can call an early release of the submitted and accepted films to the foreign language film category as usually takes them 10 days or more to announce the complete list. But more interesting is the amount of countries that had films accepted, a new record (!) with 92 submitting films this year, which are seven (7) more countries/films than last year's 85. There are too many great films in list and too-many films, period. Hopefully new "simplified" process will allow more films to be seen by more people, but believe is just a hope as know that films with strong promotion will have better chances than those without it. Already have received several invitations to private screenings in LA and yes are for films from the great filmmakers as this year list has several master filmmakers like Haneke, Akin, Ostlund, Martel, Roskam, Holland, Lelio, Bartas, Trier, and Zvyagintsev plus perhaps lesser known but already collec...
