The National Society of Film Critics convened in New York and Los Angeles on Saturday to vote on their annual film awards.
Per usual, voting is being conducted via a weighted ballot system. In each category, critics will submit ballots containing their top three picks. Their first choice will receive three points, their second will receive two, and their third choice will receive a single point. The film that accumulates the most points in each category will be declared the winner. If no winner is declared on the first ballot, the committee will keep voting until a consensus is reached (where else have we seen that this week?)
Last year’s awards were dominated by Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Murakami adaptation “Drive My Car,” which won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor for Hidetoshi Nishijima. Penélope Cruz was awarded Best Actress for her performance in Pedro Almodovar’s “Parallel Mothers,” and Ruth Negga and Anders Danielsen Lie won the supporting actress and actor categories for “Passing” and “The Worst Person in the World.”
Prior to voting today, the National Society of Film Critics tweeted: “We dedicate our awards to Sheila Benson, an esteemed Society member and the warmest, most gracious of colleagues. As film critic for the Los Angeles Times and other publications, she wrote about movies with infectious joy and enviable skill. We miss her dearly.”
