The 2016 film awards season is shaping up to be one for the ages. As the year draws to a close, contenders are hailing from unexpected places and an obvious frontrunner has yet to emerge.
With this past week’s announcements of two prominent groups of critics on either coast, it’s safe to call Barry Jenkins’ “Moonlight,” Kenneth Lonergan’s “Manchester by the Sea,” and Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land” the films to beat.
The New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC), comprised of journalists from several wide-ranging arts publications and founded in 1935, named “La La Land” the year’s best picture. The original movie musical from Lionsgate was not recognized for its two leading performances by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling or in any other categories. A24’s “Moonlight,” however, took home the Circle’s honors for best director, best supporting actor Mahershala Ali, and best cinematographer James Laxton.
“Manchester,” from Roadside Attractions and Amazon Studios, also fared well with the NYFCC, earning awards for Lonergan’s screenplay and Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams’ wrenching performances. Williams was honored for both “Manchester” and IFC Films’ “Certain Women” from writer-director Kelly Reichardt, while Isabelle Huppert, already this year’s Gotham Award-winning leading actress, was doubly recognized for “Elle” and “The Things to Come.”
