2022 Hawaii Film Critics Society award winners announced
There's really no reason for the Hawaii Film Critics Society - certainly not among the top tier(s) of American film critics organizations - to have 30 year-end prizes, is there? But then there's really no reason for them not to either, so here we are! In many other groups' awards, six wins would be a whopping victory. Here, it's a mere 20% of the wins available, but it's a healthy 20% when you consider that Everything Everywhere All at Once's haul includes four top awards, such as Best Picture and Best Director. Other multiple winners include Top Gun: Maverick with an excellent four, and Avatar: The Way of Water, The Batman and Pearl, all with two. That's a terrific performance for Pearl, especially given that it claims one of the top acting prizes - Best Actress for Mia Goth, while Best Actor goes to The Whale's Brendan Fraser. Remind yourself of the HFCS' nominations here, and see all the winners' details below.
