A wide open awards season saw the Los Angeles Film Critics Association (Lafca) award The Zone Of Interest best film and Jonathan Glazer best director, while Sandra Huller, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph dominated the gender-neutral acting categories.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association is announcing winners for the best films and performances of 2023.
After Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” won the National Board of Review and New York Film Critics Awards for best film, all eyes are on the California journalists to see if they will opt for something else or continue the lovefest for one of cinema’s most adored auteurs.
Last year, the West Coast organization had two films tied for its top prize. Todd Field’s psychological drama “Tár” and the eventual best picture-winning dramedy “Everything Everywhere All at Once” from the Daniels.

Inclusion was the big winner at the L.A. Film Critics Association Awards, which was held Saturday night at the InterContinental in Century City.
“This year’s winners are the most diverse in Lafca’s 43-year history,” announced its president, Claudia Puig, adding that 14 out of their 18 awards were won by women and people of color. Ironically, however, the organization itself is comprised of “mostly old white men,” one member admitted to Variety. But Lafca is doing its part to change that for the future of film criticism: The first honoree of the night was a formerly homeless student from Los Angeles City College — and a current Wme intern — who called out the obvious “gender disparity” in the industry.
Unlike, say, at the Golden Globes where no female directors were even nominated, Lafca gave best director honors to self-described “social-realist filmmaker” Debra Granik, who helmed the independent movie “Leave No Trace.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association has spoken this season with a list of winners quite original in response to their New York counterparts, who announced last week. "Boyhood," again, won Best Picture, as well as Best Director. But Tom Hardy ("Locke") and Agata Kulesza ("Ida") made for interesting additions to their separate conversations. "Selma" got some love as well in the form of a New Generation Award for director Ava DuVernay. Check out the full list of winners with running commentary below, and as always, follow along with the season at The Circuit. Best Editing: Sandra Adair, "Boyhood" (Runner-up: "The Grand Budapest Hotel") That's two in one day for Adair, and congrats to her. Again, lots of footage to dig through, smoothly calibrated and structured. Just a great piece of work. Bravo. Best Supporting Actor: J.K. Simmons, "Whiplash" (Runner-up: Edward Norton, "Birdman") It's pretty much these two all the way to the end.

Although there were a handful of offbeat choices, what’s most surprising is how mainstream were most of the Los Angeles Film Critics’ picks this year — Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity was the top film, with a total of four wins — and that there were no less than three ties, including one for Best Picture: Gravity and Spike Jonze’s Her. See below. (See also: Full list of Boston Society of Film Critics 2013 winners.) Best Picture (tie): Gravity and Her.

The unctuous Fox-produced movie about Google is a giant free advertisement for its corporate mentor, and a disturbing trend
Fancy shelling out your hard-earned cash to watch a two-hour corporate video? If so, you've a treat in store. The Internship isn't billed as a commercial: it's supposed to be a wacky comedy in which the one-time Wedding Crashers gatecrash a tech giant's intern scheme. However, the film isn't set in a fictional workplace, as you might expect: the firm involved is explicitly Google, and the search monster pretty much steals the show from Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
Much of the action takes place and some of it was shot at the hallowed Googleplex in Santa Clara. To accommodate other sequences, Google's creative team assisted with the design of a set and verified its accessories down to the most minute detail. Over two years, they lent props, advised on internal slang,...

On this Check This... is Stanley Kubrick's first film the short documentary 'Day of the Fight.'
Based on Kubrick's pictorial for Look Magazine (January 18, 1949) entitled "Prizefighter," "Day Of The Fight" tells of a day in the life of a middleweight Irish boxer named Walter Cartier, particularly the day of his bout with black middleweight Bobby James.
This 16-minute short opens with a short (about 4 minutes) study of boxing's history, narrated by veteran newscaster Douglas Edwards in a no-nonsense, noir tone of voice. After this, we follow Walter (and his twin brother Vincent) through his day as he prepares for his 10:00 P.M. bout.
After eating breakfast, going to early mass and eating lunch, he starts arranging his things for the fight at 4:00 P.M. By 8:00, he is waiting in his dressing room, where he undergoes a mental transformation, turning into the fighting machine the crowd clamors for.

Douglas Edwards joined Google in 1999 as employee No. 59, and lived through some of its early developmental steps, including the creation of the Google Doodle and Gmail. Something of an outsider in a culture dominated by engineers, Edwards helped the company develop what he calls “a human voice,” and stayed through the company’s eventual Ipo.

We interview Douglas Edwards, Google's brand manager from 1999 to 2005, about his new book and discuss the challenge of humanizing information technology, Sergey Brin's anatomically correct cow costume, and how Google+ might succeed where orkut, Google's first social network, failed.
After spending years as a journalist for the San Jose Mercury News and Marketplace, in the late 1990s, Douglas Edwards became restless. In 1999, even though it seemed something like a Yahoo clone, Edwards joined a scrappy startup called Google, weathering the ridicule of his colleagues and protestations of his wife. Google's 59th employee was woefully underprepared, and for the next five-and-a-half years he spent as Google's director of consumer marketing and brand management, he felt a little like a civilian who had wandered onto a rocketship just before liftoff.

Legendary CBS newscaster Walter Cronkite, who many referred to as "Uncle Walt," has passed away, CBS News reports. He was 92 years old. CBS vice president Linda Mason says Cronkite passed away on Friday evening, surrounded by family in his New York home. His cause of death was cerebral vascular disease, his former chief of staff Marlene Adler tells the Associated Press. As the CBS anchorman for almost 20 years, Cronkite's dependability and everyman demeanor comforted audiences through such lows as the President Kennedy assassination and cheered them in such highs as America landing on the moon. Cronkite was born in 1916 in St. Joseph, Mo but grew up in Houston, TX. He wrote for his high school newspaper and became the campus correspondent for the Houston Post when he was a student at the University of Texas. He dropped out of college but continued working for the Post until he moved to...

Also amongst the populist vote was The Queen â. it picked up a no brainer best actress win for Helen Mirren, but also gave best supporting actor to Michael Sheen who did a great job at playing Tony Blair and a best screenplay for Peter Morgan â. who manages to captivate the audiencesâ. attention from first act to last fade out. Some other worthy mentions that may not be the consensus with other associations are the nods to the production value for the upcoming Children of Men and a big cred goes to L.A Critics for having the balls to pick Sacha Baron Cohen

CBS News veteran Philip Scheffler is stepping down after 23 years as Don Hewitt's No. 2 at 60 Minutes, the network has announced. Scheffler, who will continue to consult for the news division, will be replaced as the newsmagazine's executive editor by longtime producer Josh Howard. Scheffler, who has spent his entire 52-year career at CBS News, was often overshadowed by Hewitt, the charismatic 60 Minutes creator who will step down as executive producer after the 2003-04 television season. Hewitt will be replaced by Jeff Fager, executive producer of 60 Minutes II. But Scheffler has overseen the production and editing of every 60 Minutes report since 1980. While Hewitt has always supervised the show's overall content and look, Scheffler solved day-to-day problems and was a vital sounding board for the correspondents and producers. Scheffler also earned a footnote in broadcast news history by creating what CBS News calls the first crude TelePrompTer. He used a typewriter with extra-large type and wide adding machine paper to scroll news copy off-camera for anchor Douglas Edwards, whose first-ever network newscast debuted in 1948. "Everybody should be as lucky as I've been to have had Phil Scheffler at my side," Hewitt said in a statement. "He's as good an editor as I've ever worked with, and I can't think of anyone better to uphold the high standards he set for us than Josh Howard." Howard joined 60 Minutes in 1989 after working as a segment producer on CBS Evening News.
