Southeastern Film Critics Association announces 2019 awards
Another day, another critics group or 20 handing out awards, and another award for Parasite! The Southeastern Film Critics Association has declared the subversive South Korean thriller both the Best Film of 2019 and the Best Original Screenplay, as well as the Best Foreign-Language Film. Largely business as usual here, actually, as none of the SEFCA's choices were first-time winners in an awards season only a week old.
