Precursor: 44th Los Angeles Critics Awards (2018)
It seems like Roma is shaping up to be the film of the season, a verdict the Academy doesn’t seem particularly likely to support. It will be interesting to see how the televised races go, since Roma cannot win the Golden Globe since it’s locked in the foreign category only. It’s also not likely to…

Precursor: 2nd Los Angeles Online Critics Awards (2018)
The first of surprisingly many prizes for The Hate U Give, though few of those were Best Picture wins, the rest of the list seems a bit familiar, though the distinction between male and female directors is an interesting one.
