I think it's their general lifetime achievement award, and like the Academy, it has to go to living individuals.

I think it's a great idea. So many great stars and character actors go unrewarded during their lifetime. Each year give it to a bunch of the remaining few before they drop.
LOL! Last year they gave it to Glenn Close, Olivia de Havilland, John Carpenter and David Lynch, not all of whom are actors, and none of whom have dropped yet!

Glenn Strange may seem like a strange one to name an award after, but he was born and raised in New Mexico. He was in fact born in 1899, 13 years before New Mexico became a state.

It's early yet, but some observations based on these plus DC (in separate thread) and of course NY and NBR:

The only so-far really dominant, JK Simmons-ish sweeper is Regina King.

Top critics are obviously with Roma, but the lessers are going every which way. On the other hand, it seems Cuaron might carve out the same niche he did five years ago: getting directing citations even where his film doesn't win.

Ethan Hawke is doing best under best actor, but would need to pull something like a 2/3 run to change the category's calculus.

Four different lead actress winners so far, and not one of them is named Glenn Close.

Supporting actor another free-for-all. What will the Broadcast Critics do to take the fun out of that?

Down in the lower categories: Isle of Dogs is showing up at these lower-tier groups, along with the surprise Spider-verse movie. The losers: Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet.

And, by my count, four different documentaries have won awards so far -- Minding the Gap, RBG, Three Identical Strangers and Won't You Be My Neighbor? It doesn't look like an Amy/O.J. consensus kind of year.

To be updated frequently as we go on.

Second/Third Tier Critics Winners

Post by Mister Tee »

Resolved: these many regional critics groups are meaningless individually, but in toto can give us some idea of general opinion. So, a thread that gathers up their winners. (No: I'm not going to post their frickin' nominees. There are some limits.)

A few groups, by virtue of size (Chicago, Boston, DC) or longevity (KC, as okri will gladly point out), deserve solo spots. The rest, let's dump here.

Today's batch:

Director: Alfonso Cuarón, ROMA
Actor: Ethan Hawke, FIRST REFORMED
Actress: Olivia Colman, THE FAVOURITE
