“Wicked Proves Too Popular to Lose”
In a surprise turn, “Wicked” swooped in to take the Best Feature and Best Production Design wins. Similarly, “The Brutalist” claimed the prize in two categories: Best Director for Brady Corbet, and Original Score by Daniel Blumberg. Tying with the ambitious and infectious “Challengers” score by Reznor and Finch in the latter. Meanwhile, Colman Domingo took the crown for his leading role in “Sing Sing,” as did Mikey Madison for her performance in “Anora.” Despite facing stiff competition, the art and entertainment of 2024 saw awards spread evenly among several standout films.
Presented by the many outstanding voices of Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia film criticism, this year’s WAFCA Awards include five special recognition categories. Living up to its name, “The Fall Guy” grabbed the first Best Stunts title, highlighting the outstanding achievement of stunt coordinators and their teams. “Civil War” was celebrated for its powerful (hopefully not prescient) depiction of Washington, DC with
The Joe Barber Award—named for the beloved, late WTOP film and entertainment editor.

Washington Area Film Critics Association Awards 2022: Everything Everywhere All At Once and More!
Posted on December 12, 2022 at 8:11 am
Copyright A24 2022
“Everything Everywhere All At Once” cinched four major wins when The Washington, D.C. Area Film Critics Association (WAFCA) announced their top honorees for 2022 this morning. A life-affirming, genre-traversing journey through the multiverse as experienced by a struggling working-class wife, mother, and laundromat owner, writer-directors Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert’s uniquely unclassifiable feature proved victorious in the Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor categories, the latter for former child star Ke Huy Quan’s breakthrough return to acting after a 20-year hiatus.
In the other major acting races, Colin Farrell won Best Actor for his riveting performance in Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin,” as a 1920s everyman living off the coast of Ireland who is stricken with confusion and grief when his best friend abruptly ends their relationship, and Kerry Condon won Best Supporting Actress for the same film, as Farrell’s outspoken, increasingly concerned sister. Cate Blanchett triumphed in the Best Actress category for her haunted tour de force turn in Todd Field’s “TÁR,” as a world-class musician and conductor experiencing a reckoning for her questionable past actions.

Best Youth Performance went to Gabriel LaBelle as an aspiring teenage filmmaker not unlike Steven Spielberg in “The Fabelmans,” and Best Voice Performance was awarded to Jenny Slate for her irresistibly funny and poignant turn in the title role of Dean Fleischer-Camp’s “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.” Zoe Saldaña won Best Motion Capture Performance for her excellent work in James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water.” Best Acting Ensemble went to the marvelous cast of Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion,” the second chapter in the “Knives Out” murder-mystery franchise, starring Daniel Craig as returning detective Benoit Blanc, and Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kate Hudson, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Dave Bautista, Jessica Henwick, and Madelyn Cline as his gaggle of suspects. Johnson also won Best Adapted Screenplay for the spiky, surprising, meticulously plotted “Glass Onion.”
“Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” a beautifully rendered stop-motion animated adaptation from del Toro and co-director Mark Gustafson, won Best Animated Feature. Best International/Foreign Language Film was awarded to Park Chan-wook’s “Decision to Leave,” an intoxicating romantic mystery from South Korea, and Best Documentary kudos went to “Good Night Oppy,” Ryan White’s inspiring story of Opportunity, the NASA exploration rover whose planned 90-day mission to Mars in 2003 turned into a nearly 15-year odyssey.
In technical categories, Joseph Kosinski’s blockbuster hit “Top Gun: Maverick,” the acclaimed long-awaited sequel to 1986’s “Top Gun,” took home the prizes for Claudio Miranda’s dazzling cinematography and Eddie Hamilton’s seamless editing. Best Production Design went to Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” while Best Score was awarded to composer Michael Giacchino for Matt Reeves’ “The Batman.”
