One of the most prestigious critics' groups' awards to win each awards season is a San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle's prize. And so those movies and individuals up for their 2022 awards will likely be most honoured to be included. None have been more honoured by the SFBAFCC, so far at least, than The Banshees of Inisherin, which scores the most nominations here with 11. Behind it are Everything Everywhere All at Once with eight and Tar with seven, all including Best Picture. Winners will be announced in just two days' time, on 8 January.
