Los Angeles Film Critics Association 2025 Award Winners (Updating Live)

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA) convened this weekend to vote for the winners of its 51st awards ceremony.

After announcing Philip Kaufman as the recipient of its Career Achievement Award, LAFCA Awards voting took place on Sunday, ahead of the awards ceremony on Saturday, Jan. 10 at the Biltmore Hotel.

At last year’s LAFCA Awards, Anora won Best Picture before going on to win the same award at the 97th Academy Awards.

Founded in 1975, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association is composed of LA-based professional film critics working in the local print and electronic media. LAFCA members hold their annual awards vote, honoring screen excellence on both sides of the camera.
