1905 Movie Network News As an important outpost of the Oscars and one of the four major film critics awards, the National Society of Film Critics Awards (NSFC) recently launched its own awards. In the end, "The Past" won the best picture, Jonathan Glazer won the best director for "Zone of Interest", and "May 12" won the best screenplay and best supporting actor.
Written and directed by Celine Song, "The Past" tells the story of immigrants, Nora and Hae-sung, two close childhood friends who were separated after Nora's family immigrated from South Korea. Twenty years later, they reunite on a fateful week as they face the concepts of love and destiny. In fact, "The Past" has not been outstanding in this year's awards season. At many association awards, there are only nominations but no substantive awards. Winning the National Society of Film Critics Award this time will help it gain momentum in the second half of the awards season. In addition, "Zone of Interest", which won the best director, has always been a popular film during this year's awards season. At the previous Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, the film won four categories: Best Picture, Director, Protagonist, and Soundtrack. And "Poor Things," which has always been proud of awards season, failed to win any National Society of Film Critics Awards.
The National Society of Film Critics Awards was established in 1966 and is regarded as one of the most important indicators of the Oscars. It is known as the four major film critics awards along with the New York Film Critics Association Award, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, and the National Board of Review Awards. The award is known for its unique taste and does not overlap much with the Oscars.
