The Denver Film
Critics Society, of which I am a voting member, has today announced its
winners in our 2017 film awards. I
wrote about the nominations when they were announced last week, and was
very happy with our batch of potential winners. The final victors, which you
can read about below, are a pretty damn strong group as well. Our Best Picture
award went to Lady Bird, my
favorite film of the year, while Best Director went to Christopher Nolan
for Dunkirk (I would have preferred
this one go to Greta Gerwig, but Dunkirk is
an obvious and extraordinary directorial achievement and I cannot fault his win
here). Lady Bird also won Best
Actress for the wonderful Saoirse Ronan, while Best Actor went to Gary Oldman’s
transformative performance in Darkest
Hour (I’ll pour one out for the great Harry Dean Stanton, who made our
nominations but didn’t win in the competitive field). Supporting Actor wins
went to Willem Dafoe and Allison Janney, while screenplay fields split between
Jordan Peele’s original Get Out and
James Ivory’s adaptation of Call Me By
Your Name.
You can see all the award winners below, with nominations
repeated for clarity’s sake. All in all, I think our group did a great job this
year recognizing what was extraordinary about film in 2017, and our final
awards spread the love to a lot of different and diverse places. Read through the full list of winners after
the jump…
