RRR's S.S. Rajamouli takes home the Best Director prize at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards. See the full list of winners here:
S.S. Rajamouli, the director of the surprise smash Telugu action hit RRR has walked away with the Best Director award at today's New York Film Critics Circle Awards. The movie, which has already had a sequel greenlit, tells a fictionalized story about the real-life freedom fighters Komaram Bheem and Alluri Sitarama Raju’s exploits against British colonizers in 1920s India.
The film was surprisingly overlooked as India’s official selection for the Best International Feature category at the Oscars next year, but that hasn't deterred its distributor Variance Films from pushing the movie very strongly for consideration, including Best Picture at next year's Oscars. This latest accolade for the film will do it no harm as awards season hits full throttle over the next couple of months.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Other notable winners at the awards include the stunning Aftersun, the debut drama feature from Charlotte Wells, starring Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio, about a young father and his adolescent daughter from Scotland on a dreamy holiday in Turkey during the late 1990s. The film has had incredible reviews, with Mescal's name now beginning to appear in contention for Oscar recognition.
And in a sign that may, or may not, mean anything, come the major awards season, the gongs for Best Actor and Best Actress went to Colin Farrell and Cate Blanchett. Farrell was commended for his outstanding turn in Martin McDonagh's melancholic comedy The Banshees of Inisherin — which also took home Best Original Screenplay — while Blanchett was the lead in TÁR, which went home with the award for Best Picture.
