With awards season officially underway, the next round of cinema accolades to be handed out was today’s New York Film Critics Circle Awards. Jordan Peele continued his streak of wins with Best First Film honors from the NYFCC, while Timothée Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) and Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird) continued to make young Hollywood extremely promising with wins for Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively. But most importantly, Girls Trip breakout Tiffany Haddish was named Best Supporting Actress for her role in the huge summer comedy, making the NYFCC the early front-runner for Best Judgement by an Awards-Giving Organization.
