Get Out Wins Big at Online Film Critics Society Awards
The OFCS has released the full list of winners for 2017, and Get Out, Call Me by Your Name, and Christopher Nolan are the big winners!
While the holiday season begins to wind down, the awards season is only heating up. Thus enter the announcement Thursday of the Online Film Critic Society’s winners for 2017. The OFCS, which is one of the few truly international critics groups with representatives from around the globe (including our own David Crow), has revealed who its voting body has selected for Best Picture, Best Director, Actor, Actress, and more.
While the critics body chose to spread the love around, electing to award a variety of films with major wins, the biggest winner is clearly Get Out. The micro-budgeted horror movie that broke down social norms also climbed its way to a Best Picture win. Further, Jordan Peele picked up the OFCS award for Best Original Screenplay. Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk also continued to indicate an egalitarian taste among the diverse voting pool since the Hollywood war epic picked up Best Director for Christopher Nolan and Best Editing for Lee Smith. Still, another major winner is the tiny but emotionally monumental love story, Call Me by Your Name, which earned awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Breakout Star of the Year with Timothée Chalamet’s poignant lead turn.
Other major winners include Gary Oldman picking up Best Actor for Darkest Hour, Sally Hawkins receiving Best Actress for The Shape of Water, and Laurie Metcalf taking Best Supporting Actress for Lady Bird. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri also did well, as Sam Rockwell earned Best Supporting Actor and Best Ensemble. Blade Runner 2049‘s Roger Deakins meanwhile was awarded Best Cinematography.
