Moonlight has picked up another Best Picture win, this time with the Boston Online Film Critics Association (BOFCA). The film also won prizes for its Ensemble and for Supporting Actor Mahershala Ali, his fourth so far this season. Many other repeat winners included Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams (Manchester by the Sea) and Isabelle Huppert (Elle). Damien Chazelle (La La Land) picked up his second Best Director win after DC critics chose him last week.

The group did, however, come through with some inspired wins, including Cameraperson in Best Documentary and Best Editing, Jackie for Best Original Score and The Neon Demon for Best Cinematography.

The Boston Online Film Critics Association was established in May of 2012 in order to foster a community of web-based film critics and provide them with a supportive group of colleagues and a professional platform for their voices to be heard. In addition, we seek to become active members of the Boston film community by sponsoring screenings, supporting local film festivals, offering educational outreaches, and celebrating the achievements of individuals who make Boston a haven for cinephiles.
