Come è giusto che sia, dopo i critici di New York, sono stati quelli di Los Angeles a votare i loro preferiti.
E la scelta non poteva essere più diversa: la LAFCA ha scelto la straordinaria antologia firmata da Steve McQueen per la BBC e Amazon, Small Axe.
Secondo la presidente Claudia Puig “We are so thrilled to honor the unprecedented, resonant and masterful ‘Small Axe,’ Steve McQueen’s quintet of thematically linked films. And we are also honored to award the artistry of a wonderfully diverse and massively talented group of winning filmmakers. Particularly notable in a year when the film industry took a huge blow, our winners reflect extraordinary achievement.”
Chloe Zhao ha vinto per la regia di Nomadland, mentre Chadwick Boseman e Carey Mulligan sono stati scelti come i migliori attori della stagione.
A Promising Young Woman di Emerald Fennell il premio per la sceneggiatura.
La ragazza d’autunno è il miglior film straniero, battendo il Martin Eden di Pietro Marcello, mentre Time il miglior documentario.
