The Los Angeles Film Critics Association has named Call Me By Your Name the Best Film of 2017. Timothee Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) and Sally Hawkins (The Shape Of Water) won top acting honours. Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project) and Laurie Metcalf (Lady Bird) claimed the supporting prizes.
The day’s voting, which lasted nearly five-and-a-half hours, provided the biggest bump for Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape Of Water, however. Clearly a favourite throughout, the film won three prizes and came in as runner-up in two more. After being largely ignored by a number of precursors so far this season, that ought to help Fox Searchlight breathe a little better.
