Kansas City Film Critics Circle awards ‘Oppenheimer’

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, nominated in seven categories, received six awards at the 58th Annual James Loutzenhiser Awards voted on by the 26 members of the Kansas City Film Critics Circle (KCFCC). These included Best Film, the Robert Altman Award for Best Director and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey, Jr. While Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon was runner-up in multiple categories, it’s lone win was for Best Actress in recognition of Lily Gladstone’s breakout performance.

The KCFCC, the second oldest professional film critic organization in the United States, was founded in 1966 by the late Dr. James Loutzenhiser (1931-2001) who served as the group’s president for over 30 years. Other winners of note included a tie between Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers) & Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) for Best Actor.
