The taste-making New York Film Critics Circle will vote this year on Wednesday, December 2. That’s early enough in the awards calendar to pose the risk that certain late-breaking titles won’t screen on time. Or, the NYFCC could get the earliest glimpse of Christmas releases “The Revenant,” “The Hateful Eight” or “Joy,” whose director David O. Russell they showered with honors in 2013.
The New York Critics vote a day after the NBR announces their winners, but a few days before SAG and Globes voters hand off their ballots. (Key awards dates here.)
The NYFCC is becoming more an alternative to the Oscars than the harbinger it once was, as indicated by its idiosyncratic choices in recent years. Last year the New York Critics shut out “Birdman” completely.
