The New York Film Critics Circle announced today that it will vote for its 2024 awards on Tuesday, December 3, 2024. As in years past, winners will be announced in real time via the group’s X account, @nyfcc.
The group will hold its annual Gala Awards dinner on Wednesday, January 8, 2025 at TAO Downtown. The upcoming year will also mark the 90th anniversary of the Circle, and a special anniversary program is in the works to celebrate this historic milestone for the NYFCC. David Sims will serve as the 2024 Chair of the NYFCC and Stephen Garrett will continue as the group’s General Manager.
“It’s an exciting year and a major milestone for the New York Film Critics Circle as we gear up to celebrate our 90th year in action,” said NYFCC Chair David Sims. “Some things never change, though: We’ll be sure to honor a wide range of challenging, enriching, and innovative films and performances in what’s been a thrilling year for cinema.”
The NYCC will also continue awarding cash prizes and gala tickets to graduate and undergraduate students pursuing film criticism and journalism from schools in the surrounding New York metropolitan area. NYFCC member Keith Uhlich will continue spearheading this effort.
Founded in 1935, the New York Film Critics Circle is the oldest critics group in the country, and among the most prestigious. The NYFCC’s membership includes critics from daily and weekly newspapers, magazines and the web’s most respected online publications.
Every year the organization meets to vote on awards for the calendar year’s films, among the first of the major groups to pronounce its winners. Oftentimes the NYFCC’s selections pave a path for Awards Season, while other times their picks stand proudly independent from other organizations. The group’s awards dinner in early January is also considered a kick-off to a new year of glamorous events in New York City.
