No matter which critics group, one constant is the overall love for “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and “The Banshees of Inisherin.” Hopefully, that love can translate into lots of Oscar nominations. The Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association named “Everything” the Best Picture of the Year this time. “Banshees” won Best Actor for Colin Farrell, Best Supporting Actress for Kerry Condon, and Best Screenplay for Martin McDonagh, all of which feel like real possibilities in the Oscar nominations and potential win categories. Plus, Ke Huy Quan has all but swept the Best Supporting Actor contest this year.
