Jane Campion (Best Director, Power of the Dog) and Martin Scorsese (presenter for Best Director)The NYFCC’s annual gala is a different from other awards shows for a number of different reasons, but one aspect is that everyone already knows the winner. (No nerves, just chill vibes!) But that doesn’t mean there aren’t surprises. Part of the fun is when our winners are introduced to the podium by a colleague, who usually is an old friend.| New York Film Critics Circle

Case in point? On Wednesday night, the pop star attended the 2022 New York Film Critics Circle Awards in a strapless black ballgown by Jason Wu. The dress had a timeless silhouette, but featured the elaborate detailing that you’d expect from Gaga, including a bustier-like bodice and a tiered skirt with a train.

[Martin] McDonagh’s sense of morality readily lends itself to entertaining plot turns and impressive acting. He leans into the kinds of vicious, manipulative contradictions that make melodramas so powerful. But in this case, his predilections only lead us down a rabbit hole of dumb ideas, symbolic ironies that really only make sense to people with $80 screenplay software on their MacBooks. Or is this the kind of advice you get when you stick to the free trial? Keep a lookout for every time ...| New York Film Critics Circle
Christine McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) is someone cursed with that familiar, often painful, gift of youth—absolute certainty. She feels everything strongly, expresses her opinions loudly, and both wounds and charms the people around her without meaning to.
