Washington DC Area Film Critics Association Awards 2014


Another day, another critics group announces their winners. "Boyhood" continues to sweep in the picture and director category, the Washington DC Area critics also gave it two more awards in supporting actress and youth performance category for Patricia Arquette and Ellar Coltrane respectively. The biggest winner however happened to be "Birdman" which won five awards including actor for Michael Keaton, original screenplay, editing, cinematography and acting ensemble. Gillian Flynn wins her first critic award this year for adapting her own novel, "Gone Girl". "Force Majeure" won foreign language film, whereas previous groups have went for such films as Ida, Two Days One Night and Wild Tales. Marion Cotillard failed to repeat her recent awards success with other groups here, the best actress prize was instead given to Julianne Moore for "Still Alice". "The Grand Budapest Hotel" wins another art direction award, something I hope it repeats at the Oscars. And Mica Levi won an award for her uniquely brilliant score in "Under the Skin".
