These guys used to be the most unpredictable and exciting of the critics awards, however the last year or so they have gone with the consensus. Still I think they are the most interesting and most likely to throw a curveball

My predictions :

Picture – The Florida Project

Director – Sean Baker (The Florida Project)

Actor – James Franco (The Disaster Artist)

Actress – Frances McDormand (Three Billboards)

**Actress is toughest category they may throw a total curveball here eg Diane Kruger or Annette Bening**

Supporting Actor – Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project)

Supporting Actress – Bria Vinaite (The Florida Project)

Screenplay – Greta Gerwig ((Ladybird)

Cinematography – Dan Laustsen (The Shape of Water)

Foreign Film – BPM

Documentary – Faces Places

BTW – I love the fact that most of these will be wrong

Phantom Thread could easily win this, and maybe Baker takes director. Chalamet, Ronan, Dafoe and Metcalf seem good, maybe Pattinson or Manville as spoilers

Phantom Thread will probably do well. They love PTA.

Wow.. they start off with a major category. Love the Hawkins win (for “Maudie”) and the Cynthia Nixon recognition.

Very Random in terms of the order of category!

Very close between Hawkins and Ronan for BA , finally Maudie gets some recognition.

Laurie Metcalf won fairly easily

Hawkins winning Best Actress yet again is no surprise considering how many awards she’s won prior to this. Maybe she’s more of an Oscar frontrunner than McDormand.

Woah, NYFCCA truly fucked this one up by going with Ronan. Hawkins could have a clean sweep with The Big Three. Fuck you, New York! And I am so fucking happy for Salleh! You go gurl!

But wasn’t Hawkins first and Ronan second?

It’s a bit surprising because The Shape of Water doesn’t seem as highbrow a film as this group usually embraces (let alone Maudie). But happy for her
