‘Anora’ Nabs Best Picture at L.A. Film Critics Awards, Marianne Jean-Baptiste Makes History With Lead Win (Full Winners List)
Los Angeles Film Critics Association are announcing their winners for the best films and performances of 2024.
Of those selected, five films went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture: Kathryn Bigelow’s war drama “The Hurt Locker” (2009), Tom McCarthy’s journalism exposé “Spotlight” (2015), Barry Jenkins’ poignant coming-of-age tale “Moonlight” (2016), Bong Joon-ho’s genre-defying “Parasite” (2019) and the multiverse sensation “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (2022). In that same period, six LAFCA Best Director winners have gone on to claim the Oscar, including Kathryn Bigelow for “The Hurt Locker,” Alfonso Cuarón for the visually stunning “Gravity,” Guillermo del Toro for the fantastical “The Shape of Water,” Bong Joon-ho for the genre-bending “Parasite,” Chloé Zhao for the intimate road drama “Nomadland,” and Jane Campion for her psychological Western “The Power of the Dog.” Founded in 1975, and celebrating its 50th year, LAFCA has built a reputation for championing bold voices in filmmaking, often steering the conversation toward films and artists that challenge conventions.
