Over its relatively short existence to date, the Seattle Film Critics Society has quickly grown into one of the most reliable, reputable film critics' groups on the scene, so it is with some satisfaction that its 2022 award winners will likely be received by many. Everything Everywhere All at Once led the group's 2022 awards nominations, and it leads the award winners too, taking four prizes including Best Picture and Best Director. The Banshees of Inisherin wins three top awards, while Babylon and Tar are both double winners. See all the details below.
