Parasite wins big with Washington Area Film Critics Association awards
Parasite was the big winner for the Washington Area Film Critics Association. The film won for Best Film, Best Director and Best Foreign Film.
I’m a voting member of the group and this past week was a mad dash to catch recommended films and potential nominees. I knocked out my nominations early Saturday and then we turned around and voted yesterday before today’s big announcement. I’m thrilled with our Best Actress selection as I was championing her since the first quarter of this year. I’m ecstatic I wasn’t the only one who thought she deserved the prize.
While I didn’t like The Irishman like some others, I’m surprised it was completely blanked here. It was a toss up for me between Brad Pitt and Al Pacino in the Best Supporting Actor category. My vote didn’t win, but I definitely am not mad at our selection. Likewise for our Best Supporting Actress choice as she was my runner-up for my vote.
