The New York Film Critics Circle announced the winners of their 2024 awards this morning on Twitter, and Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist took the top prize, with star Adrien Brody winning Best Actor. RaMell Ross‘ first narrative feature, Nickel Boys, also won two prizes, including Best Director and Best Cinematography. Kieran Culkin was awarded the Best Supporting Actor award for his work in A Real Pain, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste won Best Actress for her work in Hard Truths.
The NYFCC Awards are chosen by a group of critics from daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, magazines, and qualifying online general-interest publications. Last year, Killers of the Flower Moon won Best Film, and Christopher Nolan won Best Director.
