The NYFCC’s annual gala is a different from other awards shows for a number of different reasons, but one aspect is that everyone already knows the winner. (No nerves, just chill vibes!) But that doesn’t mean there aren’t surprises. Part of the fun is when our winners are introduced to …
From USA Today: NEW YORK — Lady Gaga shared a lot of “big feelings” — and some tears — as she accepted a best actress award Wednesday night for her role in “House of Gucci.” The singer and actress, who starred in the 2021 biographical crime drama as Patrizia Reggiani, took …
From InStyle: When Lady Gaga hits the red carpet, you know her look is going to be anything but boring. Even if she’s wearing an LBD. Case in point? On Wednesday night, the pop star attended the 2022 New York Film Critics Circle Awards in a strapless black ballgown by …
From Variety: To get in character for “House of Gucci,” Lady Gaga spent the better part of last year inhabiting the mind, body and spirit of Patrizia Reggiani, the Italian socialite who was convicted of hiring a hitman to kill her former husband, Maurizio Gucci. Though the film wrapped production …
From IndieWire: Thursday night’s Omicron-delayed New York Film Critics Circle Awards dinner at TAO in the Meatpacking District in New York City gave many of this year’s Oscar nominees — and a few Oscar also-rans — a last chance to unbutton and let loose and celebrate before the big show …

Listen to some of the acceptance speeches from our 2017 ceremony.
[Martin] McDonagh’s sense of morality readily lends itself to entertaining plot turns and impressive acting. He leans into the kinds of vicious, manipulative contradictions that make melodramas so powerful. But in this case, his predilections only lead us down a rabbit hole of dumb ideas, symbolic ironies that really only …
Christine McPherson (Saoirse Ronan) is someone cursed with that familiar, often painful, gift of youth—absolute certainty. She feels everything strongly, expresses her opinions loudly, and both wounds and charms the people around her without meaning to. On the brink of adulthood, she’s resolute enough about her desire to go to …
The “cabinet of wonders”—a museum-like room stuffed to bursting with objects from the worlds of natural history, archaeology, and art—is a recurring theme in Todd Haynes’ new film Wonderstruck, based on a young-adult novel of the same name written and illustrated by Brian Selznick. There couldn’t be a more apt …
In Columbus, architecture takes the place of emotions, to sometimes startling effect. An outwardly chilly, resolutely static film that nevertheless finds poignancy in the most surprising places, Kogonada’s directorial debut does a couple of important things so well that I can’t help but forgive the things it doesn’t. (Kogonada, by …
Let my people go… ape? The “Planet of the Apes” films have always been about surprises. With a title that sounded like Samuel Z. Arkoff-level schlock, the first “Apes” picture from 1968 threw audiences for a curve as a richer-than-expected parable on racial prejudice. Then, that shocking moment — shirtless …
Errol Morris’s quietly passionate and inspiring new film, “The B-Side,” which opens Friday, is a work of echoes and reflections. It’s a documentary portrait of Elsa Dorfman, a photographer who does mainly portraits and whose photography is inseparable from the details of her daily life. Her life and work illuminate …

Patty Jenkins’s Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot in the title role, further adds to this complicated, contradictory cluster of signs and symbols.
