You can count the members of the Seattle Film Critics Society as among Parasite's biggest fans! The enormously popular South Korean comedy thriller picks up five of their 2019 year-end awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for Bong Joon Ho. Elsewhere, Willem Dafoe wins a first Supporting Actor prize for The Lighthouse, and Jennifer Lopez continues to prove her worth as a viable Oscar Best Supporting Actress candidate, winning here for Hustlers.
Check out the SFCS' nominations, led by The Irishman (which wins nothing here), at this link.
