The New York Film Critics Circle is the latest organization to unveil its list of award winners, and Killers of the Flower Moon reigned supreme. Martin Scorsese’s latest film was the biggest winner at this award show and walked away with the coveted best film award.
Based on David Grann’s book of the same name, this historical epic takes us to the 1920s Oklahoma, when a series of mysterious murders shook the oil-rich Osage Nation. Flower Moon is led by Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone and it was met with rave reviews following its release.
In addition to walking away with the best film trophy at this year’s New York Film Critics Circle Awards, this film won one more award – best actress for Gladstone. The list of winners in acting categories also includes Franz Rogowski (best actor for Passages), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (best supporting actress for The Holdovers), and Charles Melton (best supporting actor for May December).
It was also a big night for Christopher Nolan, who won the best director award for his work on Oppenheimer. The acclaimed biopic was the only film apart from Flower Moon and May December to walk away with two awards at this year’s ceremony.
