The New York Film Critics Circle, one of the nation's oldest and most venerated critics' groups, is kicking movie awards season into high gear Tuesday as they select their choices for the best of 2024.
The group, comprised of roughly 50 print and online movie reviewers based in the city, is frequently the first major critics' group to announce its best-of choices for the year. Their winners are chosen via ballot, and on a category-by-category basis; the awards have traditionally taken a number of hours to reveal.
The first awards revealed by the group were Kieran Culkin for best supporting actor in "A Real Pain," and best animated film, which went to "Flow," by Latvian director Gints Zilbalodis.
