The Seattle Film Critics Society (SFCS) announced the winners in 21 categories for the 2023 Seattle Film Critics Society Awards where they named Celine Song’s Past Lives the year’s best picture.
Killers of the Flower Moon was honored with two awards: Martin Scorsese for Best Director and Lily Gladstone as Best Lead Actress.
Alexander Payne’s nostalgic boarding school dramedy The Holdovers tied for the most awards: with accolades for Best Supporting Actress (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), Ensemble Cast (including a standout Paul Giamatti and breakout debut from Dominic Sessa), and Screenplay (by David Hemingson). Also receiving three awards was Takashi Yamazaki’s surprise late-season hit Godzilla Minus One, which claimed Villain of the Year while destroying fierce competition in the categories of Best International Film and Visual Effects.
