The Los Angeles Film Critics Association chose Boyhood as the best film of 2014 and named Boyhood‘s Richard Linklater the year’s best director. THE LAFCA is made up of film critics who work in print and/or electronic media, with the winners of this year’s awards set to be honored in mid-January at a special ceremony.
“Originality was honored in this year’s awards from LAFCA, with several prizes going to Richard Linklater’s twelve years in the making Boyhood, and other important awards for the imaginative Grand Budapest Hotel, the groundbreaking cinematography of Birdman, and the tour de force performance by Tom Hardy in Locke. Our group again honored a range of films from around the world and an impressive array of emerging and veteran talents,” stated LAFCA President Stephen Farber.
