Voting for the 90th New York Film Critics Circle Awards is underway, and all true cinephiles’ eyes are directed to what the prestigious critics group is going to honor today: Last year, “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Oppenheimer” won the biggest prizes, giving a partial sign of where the Oscar race was going. But not a complete one, as “Killers” won Best Picture and Lily Gladstone won Best Actress at the NYFCC, both awards that were not repeated at the Oscars. NYFCC winner for Best Director Christopher Nolan did win that award at the Oscars a few months later, however.
Cinephilia, not Oscars prognostication, is the true value of the NYFCC awards. And to that end, “Flow,” one of the most acclaimed animated features of the year and one that the Academy should take close note of, received the first award at the voting for the 2024 awards held in NYC on Tuesday December 3.
IndieWire’s own Kate Erbland and David Ehrlich are members of the New York Film Critics Circle. Check out the full NYFCC winners list below.
