It was announced today that Anna Leong Brophy is returning to host the 44th London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, due to be held at the May Fair Hotel on the 4th of February next year. The nominations are due to be announced in a week’s time, on the 20th of December by Jing Lusi and Ényì Okoronkwo.
Last year Cate Blanchett was present to accept a Best Actress award for Tár, which also took home Best Film, with Todd Field named Director of the Year. This year will see the stars gather at the height of awards season to celebrate another fine year for cinema.
Rich Cline, chair of the Critics’ Circle Film Section, commented: “Because our members watch nearly all of the films released in Britain every year, our nominations tend to look unlike all the other awards shows. The Critics’ Circle Film Awards is an integral part of the annual cinema awards-season conversation and has consistently highlighted film achievements that may be overlooked by other groups. I am also delighted that The May Fair Hotel is partnering with us for a 12th year.”
