The
Los Angeles Film Critics Association is selecting and announcing its annual awards on Sunday. TheWrap will update the list of winners as they are announced.Antonio Banderas won the best-actor award for “Pain and Glory,” the same prize he claimed from the
New York Film Critics Circle. Adam Driver was named runner-up for “Marriage Story.” Song Kang Ho was named the year’s best supporting actor for “Parasite,” with Joe Pesci taking the runner-up spot for “The Irishman.”“I Lost My Body” was named the best animated film over runner-up “Toy Story 4.”In the craft categories, Claire Mathon was voted the prize for cinematography for her work on both “Portrait of a Lady on Fire” and “Atlantics,” Barbara Ling won for her production design of “Once Upon a Time … in
Hollywood,” Dan Levy was honored for his
music to the animated film “I Lost My Body” and Todd Douglas Miller took the editing award for “Apollo 11.”Four times over the years, the L.A. critics have named a foreign-language film the year’s best, with “Roma” winning last year, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” in 2000, “Letters From Iwo Jima” in 2006 and “Amour” in 2012.
Particularly in the acting categories, the LAFCA is known for occasionally making more offbeat and bolder choices than most awards voting bodies.Last year, five of the LAFCA winners went on to win the Oscar: actresses Olivia Colman and Regina King, animated film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse,” “Roma” cinematographer Alfonso Cuaron and “Black Panther” production designer Hannah Beachler.Also Read: New York Film Critics Circle Awards: 'The Irishman' Named Best Picture of 2019The LAFCA best-film winner has won the Oscar for Best Picture 10 times in the 45 years the organization has been giving out awards, including three times in the last decade: “The Hurt Locker” in 2009, “Spotlight” in 2015 and “Moonlight” in 2016.The group consists of 62 Los Angeles-based film critics working in print and electronic media.
