The Florida Project Is The Big Winner With Detroit Film Critics Society

So as the awards season see-saw rocks on, The Florida Project gathers momentum as the Detroit Film Critics Society award the film Best Picture, Director, and Supporting Actor for the one to beat Willem Dafoe. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri scored well with two wins for Best Actress Frances McDormand and the Best Screenplay prize.

Dipping their toes with a win apiece were James Franco making a good case for Best Actor in The Disaster Artist, Allison Janney Best Supporting Actress for I, Tonya, Ensemble for The Post, and Jordan Peele took the Breakthrough awards for writing and directing Get Out.
