Among the actors recognized by New York Film Critics Circle were Antonio Banderas for “Pain and Glory” and Lupita Nyong’o for “Us”
When we talk about gaining attention this award-season, Netflix is having an awfully good time this week.
Just after the Marriage story dominated the Gotham Awards, the New York Films Critics Circle, today, decided to honor Martin Scorsese’s big-budget Netflix film, “The Irishman,” by awarding it this year’s Best Picture.
That is not all. Joe Pesci also won himself a supporting-actor trophy for The Irishman, which tells the story of loyalty and criminal ties.
‘The Irishman’ Has Been Named Best Film by New York Film Critics Circle
That is not all for Netflix, has the streaming Giant also won awards in three other categories. Laura Dern, who wan “Best Supporting Actress” was cited for her performance in both “Marriage Story” as well as in Sony’s “Little Women,” while the animated-feature award was given to “I Lost My Body.” Mati Diop’s “Atlantics,” which is a famous prizewinner at Cannes, also went home with best first film.
Elsewhere, the New York Film Critics Circle made sure that they spread the glory. Lupita Nyong’o won the “Lead acting” award for her performance in “Us” and Antonio Banderas won for “Pain and Glory”. These wins will help both of them on-the-bubble Oscar bids. Even though the New York Film critics circle didn’t award “Uncut Gems” actor, Adam Sandler and didn’t award Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” at the top two categories, both films can say they had their own share of the victories; and a screenplay win for Tarantino and a directing nod for “Uncut Gems” auteurs Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie.
This weekend, the Los Angeles critics will name their own picks. Do you think they will select the same winners that their New York colleagues did, or they will consider other contenders?
