Carol Lands Four Major Awards from New York Film Critics Circle
Could this mean Oscar?
This is a wonderful start to awards season! Todd Haynes’ lesbian-themed Carol, based on Patricia Highsmith’s groundbreaking novel The Price of Salt, was awarded four top honors from the New York Film Critics Circle, including best picture, according to Deadline.
Out director Haynes landed best director, while out screenwriter Phyllis Nagy won for best screenplay. The film also deservedly won for Edward Lachman’s cinematography.

Neither of the film’s luminous stars, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, won in the acting categories, but Kristen Steward pulled in the best supporting acting award for the queer-adjacent Clouds of Sils Maria, and the wonderful Saoirse Ronan was awarded best actress for Brooklyn.
Carol is currently playing in New York and Los Angeles, and will get a wide release at Christmas, and it’s worth the wait!
