SPECIAL: 23rd Annual Online Film Critics Society Award Winners

In their twenty-third year (and my second as a card-carrying member), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS) continues to recognize the most superlative achievements of the year with no higher honor being presented by a body of film critics whose work appears predominantly online. This marks the second consecutive year that a non-English language film has taken their top prize.

Taking home six awards, including Best Picture of the Year, “Parasite” was the clear favorite of the Online Film Critics Society. “Us” and “1917” were the only other films to earn multiple awards. Below is their full list of winners.

Established in 1997, the Online Film Critics Society continues to support and champion the best of global online film criticism. With an international membership, work is published in over 15 languages and covers cinema from around the world. More information can be found at www.ofcs.org.
