Benedict Cumberbatch earned the year's Best Actor award for his work in "The Power of the Dog" as a rancher in 1925 Montana who menaces a mother (Kirsten Dunst) and her son (Kodi Smit-McPhee). The second-generation Brirish actor (his parents are veteran performers Timothy Carlton and Wanda Ventham) has become familiar to television viewers and moviegoers through his portrayals of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Stephen Hawking, Alan Turing and (in the Marvel Cinematic Univerese) Dr. Stephen Strange. Lady Gaga. the recording star turned screen sensation, was voted the Best Actress award for her performance in the real-life drama "House of Gucci." The native New Yorker (born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) portrays Patrizia Reggiani, the spurned wife of an Italian fashion heir. For her role in Sir Ridley Scott's picture, Gaga learned to speak with an Italian accent and stayed in character throughout the film's production.

The accomplished New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion (pictured below with cinematographer Ari Wegner) earned her second directing award from the New York Film Critics Circle for her screen adaptation of "The Power of the Dog." Her first award was for the 1993 drama "The Piano." Campion also wrote the screenplay, based on the 1967 novel by Thomas Savage. The filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, who won the NYFCC's Screenplay award in 2017 for his period drama "Phantom Thread," struck gold again in the category. He was voted the 2021 award for writing the script for the 1970s romance "Licorice Pizza."

The Japanese filmmaker Ryûsuke Hamaguchi's drama "Drive My Car" (starring actors Hidetoshi Nishijima and Toko Miura, pictured below) was named Best Picture Friday by the New York Film Critics Circle in its annual awards voting. Set in the present-day city of Hiroshima, the three-hour film is about a theater director (Nishijima) who stages an ambitious version of Chekhov’s play "Uncle Vanya." Based on the Haruki Murakami short story, the film won a screenplay award for Hamaguchi at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. It is Japan's official entry for the Academy Award for Best International Film. The NYFCC winners will be presented their awards at a dinner held in New York on Friday, January 10, 2022.

The National Board of Review has selected "Licorice Pizza" -- director Paul Thomas Anderson's tale of first love in the 1970s -- as its Best Picture of 2021.

She was a friend of Turner Classic Movies from Day 1. On April 14, 1994, she was present for the Times Square ceremony that began TCM's long run. Pictured below (from left to right): director Arthur Hiller, actresses Dahl, Jane Powell and Celeste Holm, TCM creator Ted Turner, actor Van Johnson and host Robert Osborne.

David Gulpilil, the Indigenous Australian who made his film debut in Nicolas Roeg's 1971 classic "Walkabout," died Monday of lung cancer. The artist, dancer and filmmaker -- whose full name was David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu -- did not know how old he was, but it is believed he was born in 1953. Gulpilil was a teen tribal dancer when Roeg, the British cinematographer turned director, cast him in " Walkabout." The film starred the Primetime Emmy Award-winning British actress Jenny Agutter as a schoolgirl who -- along with her younger brother (played by Luc Roeg, son of the director) -- became stranded in the Australian Outback after the suicide of their father (John Meillon). During their attempted trek back to civilization, they encountered a young Aborigine (Gulpilil) who was on a "walkabout," a traditional journey undertaken far from towns and cities. In Peter Weir's mystical drama "The Last Wave "(1977), Richard Chamberlain starred as a corporate tax attorney who defended five Indigenous Australians charged with a mysterious murder. The controversial case coincided with bizarre weather phenomena throughout Australia -- including rain that produced oil and frogs -- and troubling dreams for the attorney. Gulpilil played Chris Lee, one of the suspects scheduled to go on trial, who might have provided answers, but remained silent. Gulpilil appeared opposite Dennis Quaid in "The Right Stuff," Philip Kaufman's 1983 screen adaptation of Tom Wolfe's best-selling book about the origins of America's space program. The film segment focused on Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper (Quaid) as he visited a tracking station in Western Australia before the historic orbital flight of John H. Glenn, Jr. on February 20, 1962. Gulpilil co-starred as Neville "Nev" Bell, the Outback friend of Paul Hogan's title character in the 1986 comedy "Crocodile Dundee." The film was an international hit and spawned two sequels. In the acclaimed 2002 Australian film "Rabbit-Proof Fence," Gulpilil played a 1930s tracker named Moodoo hired to retrieve three Indigenous girls who escaped from a Western Australian settlement in an attempt to return to their native territory. The drama was directed and produced by Phillip Noyce based on the 1996 book "Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence" by Doris Pilkington Garimara. In 2008, Gulpilil co-starred with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman in Baz Luhrmann's World War II drama "Australia," the story of a British woman (Kidman) who inherited an Australian cattle station after the murder of her husband. The man arrested for the slaying: Gulpilil's character, a tribal elder viewed by some as a magic man. For his performance in the drama "Charlie's Country," Gulpilil won the Un Certain Regard Award for Best Actor at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. He played a Northern Australian man coping with the gradual disappearance of his cultural identity in the 21st century. Gulpilil co-wrote the movie's screenplay with director Rolf de Heer. Letterboxd @letterboxd David Gulpilil Ridjimiraril Dalaithngu AM has gone to his ancestral homeland. An actor, dancer, artist, of the Yolngu, from Arnhem Land, across five decades he hugely shaped Australian cinema and Aboriginal representation on screen.
