Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car has been named Best Film by the New York Film Critics Circle. It’s only the sixth time in the group’s history that a film not in the English language has taken out their top prize. After a recent win at the Gotham Awards for Best International Feature, it’s another major coup for the film and a great start to its Oscar campaign.
Elsewhere, Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog picked up three awards for Best Director, Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch, and Best Supporting Actor for Kodi Smit-McPhee. Lady Gaga took home Best Actress for House of Gucci.
