Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n directing newcomer Yalitza Aparicio in Netflix’ “Roma.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The diverse group of southeastern film critics (known as \u201cSEFCA\u201d) announced their awards this week. \u201cRoma\u201d led the list winning four awards including best film, best foreign-language film, best director, and best cinematography. This bodes well for Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n, who wrote, directed and shot the movie himself. Look for multiple Oscar nominations for this fantastic and artful film that you can watch right now on Netflix.

\u201cThe Favourite\u201d was the best film runner up, and also netted lead Olivia Colman the award for best actress. SEFCA voters were very high on \u201cFirst Reformed,\u201d giving Ethan Hawke the award for best actor, and giving director Paul Schrader notice as runner up in best original screenplay category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a surprise, the twin titans from \u201cThe Favourite,\u201d awards frontrunners Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone, lost to Regina King for best supporting actress. Playing the matriarch of an African American family in 1970s New York City, King is the anchor of \u201cIf Beale Street Could Talk,\u201d Barry Jenkins very deliberate and important follow-up to his Oscar winner \u201cMoonlight.\u201d

unlikely friends in “Green Book.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a move that divided critics, \u201cGreen Book\u201d took home the esteemed Gene Wyatt award, given to a film that evokes the spirit of the South. Love it or hate it, that movie about two men from different backgrounds finding common ground and friendship while touring the Deep South in the 1960s resonated with southeastern critics meaningfully. With its feel-good theme and solid performances look for \u201cGreen Book\u201d to capture the Academy\u2019s notice when nominations are announced in January.
