Atlanta Film Critics Circle awards: Parasite named best film

Park So Dam and Choi Woo Shik in Parasite

Bong Joon Ho's hugely acclaimed Palme d'Or winner Parasite adds another prestigious title to its roster today. The Atlanta Film Critics Circle has named it the best film of 2019 and Bong himself the top director and screenwriter (alongside Han Jin Won) of the year too. And elsewhere, are we seeing some acting frontrunners develop? Awards for Renee Zellweger and Brad Pitt to bolster their Oscar hopes with their NBR wins today also. The AFCC doesn't overdo things, and what they do, they do pretty well imo!
