Oklahoma Film Critics Circle announces 2020 award winners
Minari has been named the best film of 2020 by the Oklahoma Film Critics Circle. Voters chose it over a raft of other popular titles in their Top 10, with Nomadland, Promising Young Woman and Sound of Metal all winning top prizes. Overall, this is far from a banner bunch from the OFCC, though looking back over past awards slate from these critics, I can't say I'm surprised. A distinct lack of innovative and/or experimental fare, far from in keeping with the progress of the current awards season, and some dispiriting Best Picture runners-up bearing in mind the total absence of female-directed titles such as First Cow and Never Rarely Sometimes Always.
