The London Film Critics aren’t always the most instructive. Apart from their eligibility window not featuring the same films as the Oscars, they have a tendency to recognize British talent over American talent, even though they have separate categories. As such, Huppert’s win for Things to Come rather than Elle, Tom Bennett’s tied win of Bet Supporting Actor, and Son of Saul‘s win in Director aren’t particularly instructive. The rest are what have been winning regularly this season, so there’s nothing new here.
