Yahoo News ‘The Zone of Interest’ Takes Top Prize at London Critics’ Circle Awards — Complete Winners List
Hollywood blockbusters were shut out at the 44th London Critics’ Circle Awards, as “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” both left empty handed while independent films swept the top categories. Jonathan Glazer’s Holocaust-set horror-drama won Film of the Year, and Glazer was individually honored with Director of the Year as well. Celine Song’s 2023 Sundance hit “Past Lives,” another Best Picture nominee, won Foreign-Language Film of the Year.
Many of the acting categories were dominated by Oscar frontrunners, as Emma Stone won Actress of the Year for “Poor Things” and Da’Vine Joy Randolph won Supporting Actress of the Year for “The Holdovers.” Oscar nominees Justine Triet and Arthur Harari shared Screenwriter of the Year for “Anatomy of a Fall,” and Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron” won Animated Film of the Year. Notably, Supporting Actor of the Year went to Charles Melton, who did not receive an Oscar nomination despite strong finishes at several early award shows.
