Roma Wins Top Prizes At 2018 NYFCC Awards

Regina Hall in Support the Girls

In what could turn out to be a dominant performance over the critics' portion of this year's awards season, Roma wins both Best Film and Director from the New York Film Critics Circle. Don't quiz me as to why, but the non-English language title failed to win the NYFCC's Foreign Language Film award, which went instead to Cold War, though arguably the biggest surprise of today's announcement was the Best Actress win for Support the Girls' Regina Hall; it was a double success for Reginas, as Regina King wins Supporting Actress for If Beale Street Could Talk, in another category where a contender could dominate all season long. Check out the full winners list below.
