Ryusuke Hamaguchi's 'Drive My Car' wins best film at the New York Film Critics Circle.
NYFCC’s winner for best film has typically had a strong correlation with the Academy Awards’ best picture category. Since the expansion to nominees in 2009, only “Carol” and last year’s “First Cow” have missed recognition. The latter was the first film that has won New York’s top prize and failed to garner a single Oscar nom. This bodes well for not just international feature but adapted screenplay, and now picture and director as well.
“The Power of the Dog” was the first film recognized by the group, picking up several significant wins as the morning progressed. Jane Campion was named best director for the Netflix drama about a rancher, Phil Burbank , fighting his demons in 1920s Montana. Cumberbatch, meanwhile, picked up the lead actor prize and Kodi Smit-McPhee was named best supporting actor.
After being named best director by NBR, Paul Thomas Anderson added a trophy for best screenplay to the list of accolades for “Licorice Pizza.” This is his second screenplay award from NYFCC, after winning for “Phantom Thread” , for which he received a surprise Oscar nom. The hilarious “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” from director Mike Rianda, and co-director Jeff Rowe nabbed the animated film category. Released on Netflix and produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who were egregiously snubbed for “The LEGO Movie” but received redemption by winning for “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” , look to have another strong shot at goal again.
