jakeem Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 The Florida Film Critics Circle selected the French period piece "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" as its Best Picture of 2019. Directed by France's Céline Sciamma, the film -- set in the 18th-century -- details a taboo affair between two women (Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel, pictured below) on an island near Brittany. Sciamma, whose screenplay was a winner at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, was named Best Director by the Florida critics' organization. "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" also was selected as the Best Foreign Language Film. Also receiving three awards was "Marriage Story" for cast members Adam Driver (Best Actor), Scarlett Johansson (Best Actress) and Laura Dern (Best Supporting Actress). "Little Women" earned awards for Best Ensemble and Best Adapted Screenplay (writer-director Greta Gerwig). The British actress Florence Pugh, who plays Amy March in the film, received an award for her body of work in 2019.

sagebrush Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I wonder what will happen if Adam Driver is nominated for an Oscar for MARRIAGE STORY. No doubt they will show a clip of his performance at the awards show...or will they just mention his name instead to accommodate him?🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeem Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Bob Strauss @bscritic I liked how #GretaGerwig structured her #LittleWomenMovie thematically rather than strictly chronologically. Makes the oft-filmed story feel fresh and relevant. You can also appreciate every character's motivation, and therefore humanity, more than in previous adaptations. 11:58 AM · Dec 27, 2019·Twitter Web App Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
