LA LA LAND, MANCHESTER & MOONLIGHT WIN BIG AT NYFCC


I'll refrain from commenting upon my feelings about some of the New York Film Critics Circle's choices today, except to remark that they are... mixed. In the race to be first to announce, the NYFCC has actually come up third among critics groups this awards season, and so decides to sit on three fences at once, showering award after award upon Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight, but surprising by giving La La Land their Best Film prize. Here's hoping we hear from a few leaks over the coming days and find out which contenders came close!
