LA LA LAND WINS HAWAII FILM CRITICS SOCIETY'S SECOND AWARDS


The Hawaii Film Critics Society is pretty new on the critics group block, featuring only four members, so it's understandable that I missed their nominations for the year, and would have missed their award winners were I not graciously prompted on Twitter. La La Land wins very big, and 10 Cloverfield LaneHell or High Water and Nocturnal Animals fare decently too; not a single prize for Moonlight however, which is naturally extremely disappointing. This is the first group to give their Best Actress prize to Viola Davis, also. Their full slate is below, whose nominations appear to be in ranked order...
