The awards season rolls on. Yesterday the L.A. Film Critics Circle handed out its annual awards with Gravity, Her and Inside Llewyn Davis featuring prominently.
The L.A. Film Critics add an additional "runner-up" pick to its selection. Sometimes the votes are even as was the case in a number of categories yesterday.
While last week's NYFCC and National Board of Review picks heavily featured American Hustle, the LAFCC seemed to bend toward films that have gained strong buzz early in the awards race. All three movies (Gravity, Her and Inside Llewyn Davis) are currently in theaters.
Take a look below and see if you agree with its picks including, yes, James Franco tying with Jared Leto for best supporting actor.
