Little Women wins first Best Picture award from Boston Society of Film Critics
The Boston Society of Film Critics are on hand to offer a pleasant corrective to one of awards season's most egregious oversights! Two female-directed movies top their Best Picture poll, in a year (relatively) brimful of awards contenders from women directors yet light on recognition for them. Greta Gerwig's Little Women is a strong presence throughout the BSFC's 2019 awards slate, winning four prizes, while voters still found space for other excellent choices such as Parasite and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
