The New York Film Critics Online (NYFCO) have chosen Parasite as the best film of 2019, also giving the South Korean dark comedy Best Director (Bong Joon-ho) and Best Screenplay (Bong Joon-ho and Jin Won Han).
Lupita Nyong (Us) won Best Actress after scooping up a win from the New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC) and it’s worth noting that Best Actress has the NYFCO’s best track record of crossing over to an Oscar nomination; it’s happened 17/18 times with Sally Hawkins in 2008 (for Happy-Go-Lucky) as the only exception.
Joaquin Phoenix (Joker) picked up his first Best Actor critics win and Joe Pesci (The Irishman) doubled up with a supporting actor win here to go with his NYFCC win earlier this week.
The group’s Debut Director was a left field choice with The Chambermaid‘s Lila Avilés triumphing over Booksmart‘s Olivia Wilde and Mati Diop for Atlantics in multiple rounds of voting. The Chambermaid is Mexico’s International Feature Film Oscar submission.
Kelvin Harrison, Jr. won the group’s Breakthrough Performer for his one-two punch of Luce and Waves this year. Rocketman was chosen the best Use of Music, defeating Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Dolemite Is My Name is multiple round voting.
