2022 Seattle Film Critics Society Awards
The 7th Seattle Film Critics Society Awards were announced on January 17, 2023.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The nominations were announced on January 9, 2023, with Everything Everywhere All at Once leading the nominations with fourteen, followed by The Banshees of Inisherin with nine and Top Gun: Maverick with eight.[5] [6] [7]
Everything Everywhere All at Once received the most awards with four wins, including Best Picture and Best Director, followed by The Banshees of Inisherin with three.[2] [8]
The awards were dedicated this year to Sheila Benson (Los Angeles Times ) and John Hartl (The Seattle Times ), two of the "finest" film critics to live and work in the Pacific Northwest . After her retirement from the Los Angeles Times in 1991, Benson wrote for several print publications and websites, at both the local and national level, while Hartl was a Seattle icon who spent his entire 52-year career writing for The Seattle Times . They will be missed for their "incisive contributions, as well as their warm and wise camaraderie at press screenings and festival events".[2]
This year, a new category—Achievement in Pacific Northwest Filmmaking —was added to specifically honor Pacific Northwest filmmaking . The award is meant to celebrate the many talented filmmakers who call the region home and who produce work there. A nominating committee carefully considered a wide variety of feature films released during 2022 with strong connections to the region and selected five finalists. The winner was determined by a vote of the full membership and announced alongside the SFCS's other awards on January 17, 2023; the nominees were announced via YouTube on December 5, 2022.[9]
