'Amour,' 'The Master' Lead LA Film Critics Association Awards

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association have announced their annual awards, breaking with the "Zero Dark Thirty" consensus of every other critics group thus far and giving its top awards to Michael Haneke's "Amour" and Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master."

"Amour" won top honors as best picture, and also tied in the best actress race as Emmanuelle Riva and "Silver Linings Playbook" star Jennifer Lawrence received the same amount of votes (though it oddly lost best foreign film to "Holy Motors"). "The Master," meanwhile, took four honors: best director, best actor, best supporting actress and best production design. It was also runner-up in the best picture, best cinematography and best music/score categories.

Other major winers included Dwight Henry, who surprised many for taking the best supporting actor prize for "Beasts of the Southern Wild." That film also beat out "The Master" in the best music/score category.

L.A.'s critic's choicest are unsurprising. The industry votes to award itself. Frankenweenie? I'll have to be sure to catch that one. Along with Tim Burton 's next. And I guess Anderson must be the genius that everyone was saying he was.
Grainofsarcasm | December 9, 2012 8:13 PM

Yeah he really is an astonishing auteur. Considering he hardly received any higher academic education is even more impressive.

How amusing, that when an independent feature is awarded any sign of recognition, the entire indiewire journalist refuse to commemorate or praise the film's triumphant acknowledgement. Conformists much? Oh well. Like they say âAny fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it." Congratulations Phoenix and Anderson, your collaboration earned it.

I thought "Footnote" was released last year?
Corvo | December 9, 2012 6:04 PMReply

Thank you LAFCA for saving the Oscar race! Enough with ZD30!
BLOB | December 9, 2012 6:03 PMReply

This is hands down THE best list so far. Congratulations, Los Angeles. At least there was a critics's group that paid attention to the good stuff this year.

About fricken time Phoenix wins somewhere. I was beginning to think they forgot about him.
