| Sandra Huller in Zone of Interest |
The Los Angeles Film Critics Association has chosen
Zone of Interest, Jonathan Glazer's chilling examination of the Nazi family living next to a concentration camp, as Best Picture in voting on Dec. 10. This bucks the trend of their New York counterparts and the National Board of Review, both of whom voted Martin Scorsese's
Killers of the Flower Moon the outstanding flick of 2023. Sandra Huller also won for her lead performance in
Zone and for her role in
Anatomy of a Fall. She shared lead performance honors with Emma Stone of Poor Things. Last year, the LAFCA eliminated male and female categories in the performance awards and gives accolades to the top two vote-getters in lead and supporting fields regardless of gender (the Drama Desk does the same thing.) All acting winners were women this year with supporting performance awards going to Da'vine Joy Randolph of
The Holdovers (who has won every other critics award so far) and Rachel McAdams for
Are You There, God, It's Me, Margaret.
Film award season continues to be an interesting race with several candidates possible for the upcoming Oscar nominations. The Golden Globes and Critics Choice noms, coming out this week, should tell us more.
