The National Society of Film Critics’ 56th voting meeting to select its picks for best movies of 2021 is taking place virtually Saturday.
Critic Justin Chang, who serves as the group’s chairman, is tweeting the winners live via the @NatSocFilmCrix Twitter account.
Typically, vote meetings are held at New York’s Film Society of Lincoln Center but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held virtually for the second year in a row and will not have an awards party.
Previous year’s winners include Chloé Zhao’s drama Nomadland and Bong Joon Ho’s black comedy thriller Parasite have been among the NSFC’s recent best picture winners.
Founded in 1966, the NSFC features 59 elected and eligible members from major papers and outlets across the country including The Wall St. Journal, The L.A. Times, The New Yorker, The Christian Science Monitor and NPR. The society annually honors the best in acting, direction, writing, cinematography and more across onscreen and streaming releases in the U.S.
The NSFC supplies the official critic delegate to the National Film Registration Board of the Library of Congress. Abroad, it serves as the official American representative in FIPRESCI, the international federation of members of the film press.
