Indian action/musical “RRR” was the runner-up for Best Film and also won Best Foreign Language Film and the new category of Best Stunt/Movement Choreography.
Eight other films were voted Finalists for Best Film. Along with the winner and runner-up, they represent the IFJA’s selection as the top 10 movies of the year.
Cate Blanchett won Best Lead Performance playing a complex, abusive musical director in “TÁR.” For the first time, IFJA has combined its leading and supporting acting awards into single gender-neutral categories.
“TÁR” also earned Best Director and Best Original Screenplay awards for Todd Field.
Sarah Polley won the Best Adapted Screenplay award for “Women Talking,” which was also recognized for Best Ensemble Acting.
Best Animated Film went to “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On,” which also took the Best Vocal/Motion Capture Performance award for Jenny Slate. “I Didn’t See You There” won Best Documentary.
Charlotte Wells took Breakout of the Year honors for her mature, layered debut as the writer-director of “Aftersun.” Michael Giacchino earned Best Musical Score for “The Batman.” Hoyte Van Hoytema won Best Cinematography for “Nope.”
The Edward Johnson-Ott Hoosier Award, which goes to a film or filmmaker with Indiana ties, went to Joshua Hull, co-writer of the horror film “Glorious.”
IFJA members issued this statement for the Edward Johnson-Ott Hoosier Award:
“Joshua Hull is the rare Hoosier filmmaker who proved you don’t have to leave Indiana to make movies. He’s seen his career rise steadily as a writer, director and producer with local productions like “Chopping Block.” With the release of “Glorious,” Hull has broken out with mainstream success in a highly inventive film that blurs the line between horror, fantasy and character study. The IFJA looks forward eagerly to his next efforts.”
