While a number of critics and awards organizations pushed back their voting timelines and eligibility windows due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic — the Oscars are considering any films released through Feb. 28 for its April 25 awards — the NYFCC kept its timeline roughly the same, voting just two weeks after their usual post-Thanksgiving meeting and is only considering films that will be released by Dec. 31.
The group also honored Kino Lorber with a special award for its creation of virtual cinema distribution service, which the group said in its announcement,"was designed to help support movie theaters, not destroy them.
Founded in 1935, the NYFCC’s membership includes critics from daily and weekly newspapers, magazines and qualifying online publications. Every year the group meets in New York to vote on awards for the calendar year’s films. In addition to the regular categories, which include best picture, director, actor and actress, special stand-alone awards are given to individuals and organizations that have made substantial contributions to the art of cinema, including producers, directors, actors, writers, critics, historians, film restorers and service organizations.
While award winners are typically celebrated via an in-person gala in January, due to the pandemic, a video will be released on Jan. 24 celebrating this year's winners.
