In what would be a rather favourable outcome at the Oscars, the Broadcast Film Critics Association anointed Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma" as the best film of 2018 at the Critics Choice Awards last night. Cuaron and his film also won Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography. In other highlights, there was a tie between Glenn Close and Lady Gaga (neither of whom I predicted to win), further confirming that this Best Actress race will be a close one. Overall, I accurately predicted 17 out of 25 winners. Here is the full list of awardees:
