The San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle have announced their 2022 award winners and The Banshees of Inisherin has been named Best Picture along with Colin Farrell and Kerry Condon earning Best Actor and Supporting Actress wins.

For categories where the vote was particularly close we’ve noted honorable mention for the runners up, including Everything Everywhere All At Once in Best Picture and there was a tie in Supporting Actress where EEAAO’s Jamie Lee Curtis also won.
