NYFCC AND MORE
The New York Film Critics Circle awarded their superlatives for film in 2020 last night. The NYFCC announcement kicks off a week that will see a number of major film awards announcements including the American Film Institute, the National Board of Review and The Independent Spirit nominations among others.
From the NYFCC, TFF winners:
Best Picture: First Cow
Best Director: Chloe Zhao/Nomadland
KERSHAW TALKS TRUFFLES
The Truffle Hunters has come on like gangbusters as we have moved through the end of 2020 into the beginning of 2021 as a serious threat in the Oscar race for Best Documentary Feature. The TFF #47 selection from Sony Pictures Classics sits in my first pass at predicting the nominees for that category just outside the possible nominees at #8 (in an incredibly competitive category). Meanwhile Variety's Clayton Davis has the film at #3 and Scott Feinberg at The Hollywood Reporter has it at #5.
In light of all of that, Gold Derby featured an interview with co-director Gregory Kershaw this week.
