Florida Film Critics Circle Announces 2014 Award Winners

The winners of this year’s Florida Film Critics Circle Awards have been announced, with Wes Anderson‘s The Grand Budapest Hotel nabbing the most trophies including Best Original Screenplay, Best Ensemble, and Best Art Direction/Production Design. Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman picked up Best Picture and Best Actor (Michael Keaton), and Richard Linklater‘s Boyhood won Best Director and Best Supporting Actress for Patricia Arquette. One of my favorite winners though, was The Raid 2 winning Best Foreign Language film, so if you haven’t seen that one yet, go do so.
