The Los Angeles Critics showed quite a bit of love to Telluride films Sunday with Todd Field's TAR getting the most of it.  TAR was named Best Film, and Field was named for Best Direction and Best Screenplay while Cate Blanchett was named co-winner for Best Lead Performance.  TAR also was runner-up for Best Editing.

Other TFF participants winning plaudits from the L.A. critics were:
