Great pick
BEST DIRECTOR: Barry Jenkins for "Moonlight" 👍
If there ever was a director's film this year it's this or "Silence"
BEST ACTOR: Casey Affleck for "Manchester by the Sea"👍
Basically Affleck or Denzel Washington in "Fences," both deserving of award
BEST ACTRESS: Isabelle Huppert for both "Elle" and "The Things to Come" 👍💗
Tour-de-force performance in "Elle," Emma Stone and Natalie Portman also great
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Mahershala Ali for "Moonlight"👍
Great pick
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Michelle Williams for "Manchester By the Sea" and "Certain Women" 👎😕
barely in "Manchester by the Sea" and she was the weak link in "Certain Women"
BEST ANIMATED FILM: Zootopia 👍💗
Great pick
BEST DOCUMENTARY: "O.J.: Made in America" 👍💗
"Weiner" also deserves serious mention, but nothing can beat the 8 hour landmark
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: "Toni Erdmann" 👍
... or "Elle
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: James Laxton for "Moonlight"👍
... or "La La Land"
BEST SCREENPLAY: Kenneth Lonergan for "Manchester by the Sea" 👍
Great pick
BEST FIRST FILM: "Krisha" and "The Edge of Seventeen" 👍👍💗
The two best possible choices
Martel has only made a handful of features in 25 years ("La Ciénaga," "The Holy Girl," "The Headless Woman," "Zama"), and every one of them has been an event for festival audiences.
