The NYFCC announced today that it will hold its annual Gala Awards dinner on Tuesday, January 5, 2027 at TAO Downtown. David Rooney, chief film critic at The Hollywood Reporter, will serve as the 2026 Chair.

This past year's awards ceremony, also held at TAO Downtown, was another resounding success. Memorable moments from the evening included Ethan Hawke presenting Best Actress to Rose Byrne for If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, Ben Stiller presenting Best Supporting Actor to Benicio del Toro for One Battle After Another, Tracy Letts presenting Best International Film to Kleber Mendonça Filho for The Secret Agent, Gaby Hoffmann presenting Best Supporting Actress to Amy Madigan for Weapons, Lupita Nyong'o presenting Best Actor to Wagner Moura for The Secret Agent, Ken Jeong presenting Best Animated Film to Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans for KPop Demon Hunters, Isaac Mizrahi presenting Best Screenplay to Ronald Bronstein and Josh Safdie for Marty Supreme, and Chase Infiniti presenting Best Film to Paul Thomas Anderson for One Battle After Another.

98TH Oscars® Nominations Announced

"The film industry, especially in the U.S., has arguably never faced greater challenges — from the rise of streaming to the threat of AI, from the lingering after-effects of labor strikes and a global pandemic to the squeeze on competition likely to result from corporate M&A," said NYFCC Chair David Rooney. "But the international creative community has shown remarkable resilience time and again. As seen by several standouts that have already emerged out of Sundance and Berlin this year, that shadow over the industry's health is not going to crush filmmaking excellence. We're confident that the NYFCC will be back at TAO Downtown next January with a fresh crop of great movies and performances worth celebrating."

The Circle will also continue working with programmers at The Paris Theater for the "NYFCC @ The Paris" series, in which members of the Circle present favorite titles, oftentimes with filmmaker conversations afterward. Recent screenings include Pretty Poison, which was introduced by New York Film Critics Circle member Richard Brody.

Oscar® Winners Return To The Oscars® Stage

The NYFCC will also continue giving out its student awards, which recognize graduate and undergraduate students pursuing film criticism and journalism from schools in the surrounding New York metropolitan area. NYFCC member Keith Uhlich will continue spearheading this effort, which includes financial support as well as two invites to the dinner.

Founded in 1935, the New York Film Critics Circle is the oldest critics group in the country, and among the most prestigious. The NYFCC's membership includes critics from daily and weekly newspapers, magazines and the web's most respected online publications.

Academy Announces More Presenters at the 98TH Oscars

Every year the organization meets to vote on awards for the calendar year's films, among the first of the major groups to pronounce its winners. Oftentimes the NYFCC's selections pave a path for Awards Season, while other times their picks stand proudly independent from other organizations. The group's awards dinner in early January is also considered a kick-off to a new year of glamorous events in New York City.
