2018 Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society Winners: 'The Hate U Give' Takes Best Picture
It's only been a few days since the members of the Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society released the nominees for their annual awards, and the winners have already been determined. However, don't expect this to be an indication of how any of the major awards are going to go down later this season. Our editor-in-chief Peter Sciretta is counted among this group, and the wide array of film critics from various backgrounds makes the results skew much further from the norm than you might expect at the Golden Globes or Oscars.
However, that actually makes the Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society awards winners a little more interesting than the usual awards fare – they have awarded the adaptation of The Hate U Give Best Picture. How did the rest of the awards shake out ? Check out the full list below.
For his part, Peter Sciretta says, "I'm proud to be part of one of the most diverse film critic groups on the planet and our list is reflective of that." Indeed, the winners list is full of diversity, far more than what we'd see at the Golden Globes or Academy Awards. So without further adieu, here's the winners list.
