The winners for the fourth annual International Film Society Critics Association (IFSCA) Awards have finally been announced and without any guesses, Christopher Nolan’s biographical epic ‘Oppenheimer’ turned out to be the biggest winner. The movie went on to win 8 awards, including Best Director for Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr, Best Ensemble and more. Additionally, the film went on to become the first runner-up in the Best Picture line-up and lost to Celine Song’s ‘Past Lives’.
The competition between ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Past Lives’ was really close, with Song’s film winning the prestigious award by a margin of just two votes.
Apart from winning the night’s biggest prize, ‘Past Lives’ took home Best First Feature, Original Screenplay, and Exceeding One-Inch Barrier, taking its total tally to 4. On the other hand, Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ emerged victorious in three categories, including Best Comedy/Musical.
