Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite continues to be the star of the award season winning multiple accolades from the Atlanta Film Critics Circle (AFCC) 2018 film awards including Best Lead Actress for Olivia Colman, Best Supporting Actress for Emma Stone, Best Ensemble Cast and Best Screenplay. In addition the film emerged as number one on the list of the Top 10 Films of 2018. Other winning films include Best Documentary for Won’t You Be My Neighbor? and Roma for Best Foreign Language Film.
“Our list includes period dramas, inventive horror, commentary on religion, race relations and the environment, minimalist art-house fare, stark social media observations, sci-fi fantasy and a fresh take on the traditional Hollywood epic,” says AFCC co-founder Michael Clark. “It covers the gamut and I’m very pleased with the members’ collective enthusiasm.”
