Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards 2018: ‘Roma’ Wins Best Picture

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA) announced their winners for 2018 on Twitter Sunday, and Roma emerged victorious, winning the awards for Best Film and Best Cinematography. Debra Granik was the “surprise” winner of Best Director, winning for her underrated but great film Leave No Trace.
