The awards season is fully underway with the Los Angeles Film Critics Association meeting to name the best film had to offer in 2017. They’ve chosen Call Me by Your Name as the winner of Best Picture, along with star Timothee Chalamet as Best Actor, while director Luca Guadagnino tied with Guillermo del Toro for Best Director. Jordan Peele once again won for Get Out, taking home the award for Best Screenplay (technically the awards will be presented on January 13th), and Radiohead guitarist and longtime Paul Thomas Anderson musical collaborator Johnny Greenwood won Best Score for Phantom Thread.
All in all, there were some interesting choices for the winners this year. Pixar’s Coco was the runner-up for Animated Feature and James Franco and Sam Rockwell had near-wins for The Disaster Artist and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
