San Francisco Film Critics Circle (SFFCC): ‘ROMA’ Best Picture; Melissa McCarthy, Michael B. Jordan grab acting prizes
The San Francisco Film Critics Circle have chosen ROMA as the best film of 2018, Spike Lee as Best Director for BlacKkKlansman, Melissa McCarthy as Best Actress for Can You Ever Forgive Me? and Michael B. Jordan as Best Supporting Actor for Black Panther.
The Favourite went into today as the nomination leader with 9 yet amazingly, lost every battle.
Ethan Hawke (First Reformed) and Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk) continued their domination with wins again today in Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress, respectively.
A surprise came in Best Film Editing as the decades long road to bring Orson Welles’ last film to light, The Other Side of the Wind, earned Oscar-winning editor Bob Murawski and the late Welles a win there.
Oakland native Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) was given the Marlin Riggs award for courage and vision in the Bay Area community
