Minari wins NYFCO Best Picture prize
The latest critics' group to announce their 2020 award winners is the New York Film Critics Online, and they've selected one of the year's most popular titles to win their Best Picture prize. Lee Isaac Chung's Minari wins not only their top award but also accolades for Supporting Actress for Youn Yuh Jung and Foreign Language Film. Youn shares her award with Pieces of a Woman's Ellen Burstyn - one of several picks by the NYFCO that set them aside from some of the season's other critics' groups, like the Tommaso mention among their Top 10 Films and the Best Documentary win for The Way I See It.
