Georgia Film Critics Association Announces 2019 Winners: ‘Parasite’, ‘1917’, and More!

The Georgia Film Critics Association (GAFCA) has announced their winners for 2019, and both Parasite and 1917 were among the big winners!

Parasite took home four awards including Best Picture, Best Director for Bong Joon-ho, Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film. 1917 received three awards for Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, and Best Original Score.

Other big wins included The Irishman for Best Supporting Actor for Joe Pesci and Best Adapted Screenplay, while Little Women took home Best Supporting Actress for Florence Pugh and Best Ensemble. Pugh also won the Breakthrough Award.

The Oglethorpe Award for Excellence in Georgia Cinema went to The Peanut Butter Falcon, which also made FanBolt’s Top 10 list for 2019 films. My personal pick for Best Film of 2019 goes to 1917 – which is officinally in wide release today!

I’m honored to be a member of the GAFCA, which was founded in 2011. The GAFCA is made up of 38 film critics from around the state, representing print, television, radio, and online media.
