THE 49TH IRA FILM AWARDS: ONLY A "MONSTER" WOULD IGNORE THESE MOVIES

 THE 49TH IRA FILM AWARDS: ONLY A "MONSTER" WOULD IGNORE THESE MOVIES  

Date: March 25, 2023 

Location: New York City and far-flung locales via Zoom

The IRAs are a mysterious but august film society launched in 1976 when it proudly named Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon the best film of 1975. Officially known as the New York Independent Film Critics Awards -- but lovingly nicknamed the IRAs -- it is more international and indie focused than the Oscars, more mercurial than the LA Film Critics and even more loyal to their favorites than the Golden Globes. The IRAs are proud to announce its picks for the best movies released commercially on any platform since the last IRAs in March of 2022.

Without further ado, the IRA goes to...

This year, the 49th Annual IRA Awards took place on March 23, 2024. Films are eligible based on our newly established standards. Any film that is commercially available roughly since our last ceremony qualifies for an IRA. This includes any film you can see in any way: a streamer, a digital download, a rental, a BluRay, at a mutiplex, at a drive-in or -- our favorite option -- an old-fashioned movie palace. Festival play does not qualify. 

Want some great recommendations to check out? Here's a list of all the films that scored enough points to merit attention at the IRAs. If you want to see some of the best films of 2023, let the IRAs lead the way.

And now, a blow-by-blow description of the night, in order of voting. We begin, as always, with the category of Best Costumes. Instead of our traditional first vote led by the titular Ira (whose presence was greatly missed), we began with George, a scholar as well as CEO of the accounting firm Robinson, Robinson, Marcks & Giltz.  The IRA goes to...


BEST COSTUME

1.  Jacqueline West for Killers Of The Flower Moon (31 pts) 

2. Milena Canonero for Asteroid City (27 pts) 

3. Jennnifer Starzyk for The Iron Claw (17 pts) 

4. Zoya Hassan for Joyland (12 pts) (tie) 

    Holly Waddington for Poor Things (12 pts) (tie) 

    

POINT OF ORDER: This year, about 11 to 13 ballots were in play throughout the night for most categories. (Two ballots were submitted by members who couldn't attend but they did not include votes for every category.) Voting begins with each member naming their top pick. If a majority of the ballots name the same winner, this triumph is acknowledged as a win "by acclamation." However a winner is chosen (by acclamation or by a complete tally), this is followed by the automatic vote to rescind.

The Vote To Rescind is offered after every category. Why? Once the totals are in, members may feel the actual winner doesn't reflect the best choice. Or perhaps they prefer the runner-up. After the winner is announced, members are asked to consider a Vote To Rescind. If a majority of the members actively voting support it, the winner is rescinded and the runner-up is made the official champion. The winner is then named the runner-up. The Vote To Rescind is seen by some as a last minute stop-gap to avoid a bland consensus pick. It is vehemently opposed by Andy, who registers his displeasure over this rule with the dependable consistency of Old Faithful.  

The IRAs and the Oscars rarely overlap: only twice in the 48 year history of the IRAs have both named the same film as the Best Picture of the year.  1977's Annie Hall and 2016's Moonlight each won the top prize from both AMPAS and the IRAs. While the IRAs certainly lean more indie and international, the Oscar winner for Best International/Foreign Film has never won the top IRA for Best Picture. 

In fact, the IRAs overlap very little with any other awards group. The films it honors are acclaimed, well reviewed all over the world and appear on many "best of the year" lists. And yet, its top honor often goes to a film overlooked by the others. Eclectic, thy name is IRA. And that's a great reason to check out our winners. 

NOTE: Whatever one thinks of Martin Scorsese's Killers Of The Flower Moon, no one would argue with the craftsmanship on display. Killers nabs its first IRA, but is it a harbinger of things to come? The3 IRAs are often clearing their throats during the costume voting, so don't draw too many conclusions. Yet. Some were rooting for Zac Efron's career-best (well, best since High School Musical) performance in The Iron Claw. It makes its first appearance here. If we had a category for personal trainers, The Iron Claw would have dominated (with a special mention for Alex's trainer as well). 

 BEST EDITING

1.  Kore-eda Hirokazu for Monster (32 pts) 

2. Alain Dessauvage for Close (17 pts) 

3. Jennifer Lame for Oppenheimer (16 pts) 

4. Geoff Lamb for Talk To Me (11 pts) 

5. Yotam Ben-David for Orlando: My Political Biography (9 pts) 

         

NOTE: Kore-eda's Monster proves a monster when it comes to editing, almost doubling the point total of runner-up Close. Since I'm rooting for Close, this is bad news but at least it's in the mix. This is the only appearance in the awards for the Oscar behemoth Oppenheimer, the very clever Aussie horror frilm Talk To Me (which isn't a genre the IRAs are strong on) and the nonfiction essay film Orlando: My Political Biography, which sparked a passionate and respectful discussion of gender fluidity. 

BEST SCORE/USE OF MUSIC

Robbie Robertson for Killers Of The Flower Moon BY ACCLAMATION 

1. Robbie Robertson for Killers Of The Flower Moon (41 pts) 

2. Ryuichi Sakamoto for Monster (24 pts) 

3. Marcelo Zavos for May December (15 pts) 

4. Laura Karpman for American Fiction (13 pts) 

5. Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch for All Of Us Strangers (12 pts) 

NOTE: Robbie Robertson was a member of the legendary rock group The Band. (Everyone should hear their first two albums: Music From Big Pink and The Band.) At Robertson's urging they got Martin Scorsese to direct their final performances and turned it into a film called The Last Waltz. It's one of the best concert films of all time. Ever since, Robertson has often scored films for Scorsese, right up to his work on Killers before dying too young. This is also a posthumous celebration of the late composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. Like Monster in Editing, Killers won this category decisively. 

BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN

1. Jack Fisk for Killers Of The Flower Moon (28 pts)

2. Adam Stockhausen for Asteroid City (19 pts) 

3. Sarah Greenwood for Barbie (14 pts) (tie)

    Anthony Gasparro for Showing Up (14 pts) (tie)

5. Massimiliano Nocente & G-d for The Eight Mountains (11 pts)  

NOTE: Another win for Killers? That's three out of the first four IRAs! Will Scorsese triumph at the IRAs the way he never could at the Academy Awards?  Asteroid City makes its second and final appearance of the night, despite Wes Anderson being a favorite of some. At IRA events throughout the year, it was clear some preferred his short film The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar. Barbie also pops in, but like Oppenheimer it will not be a major factor tonight. Some even dissed Ryan Gosling's performance, which is just silly. 

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY

1. Frank van den Eeden for Close (32 pts) 

2. Ruben Impens for The Eight Mountains (19 pts) 

3. Timo Salminen for Fallen Leaves (14 pts) (tie) 

    Rodrigo Prieto for Killers Of The Flower Moon (14 pts) (tie) 

5. Shabier Kirchner for Past Lives (11 pts) 

NOTE: The excellent Belgian film Close makes a statement here, with a very strong win in cinematography. Will it be a contender? It's a good time to mention the IRA "message board," a blog where we keep track of new movies. Anyone with a strong recommendation to make asks for a film to be listed with their endorsement, hoping to encourage others to check it out. Those people can also endorse the film. And of course the more people who see and really like a movie, the more others feel the need/desire to check it out as well. The blog also includes the major streamers and movies of interest showing on each one. With everyone scattered across the country, it's not always easy to keep track of the movies others are watching and liking. This blog tries to alleviate that problem. You can check it out here. 

But don't be fooled! The Holdovers had seven endorsements (and one that was made and then deleted after the endorse cooled on it). But it wasn't a factor at all. On the other hand, Greg's endorsement of The Eight Mountains sat quietly alone right up to the big night. But others clearly paid attention, since it scored honorable mentions in Cinematography and Production Design. So the blog is a useful tool but it's far from predictive. Well, it's a little predictive. Past Lives got eight endorsements, more than any other film. Check out the next category....

BEST SCREENPLAY

1. Celine Song for Past Lives (30 pts) 

2. Yûji Sakamoto for Monster (26 pts) 

3. Andrew Haigh for All Of Us Strangers (25 pts) 

4. Lukas Dhont & Angelo Tijssens for Close (12 pts) 

5.  Justine Triet and Arthur Harari for Anatomy Of A Fall (9 pts) 

NOTE: And the race begins! Past Lives wins its first IRA and it's a big one: Screenplay is a "tell" as they say in poker. Any win is a good win of course and so far Close, Monster and Past Lives each have one. But savvy fans of Close notice it's way back in this crucial category, with Past Lives, Monster and who's this new fella All Of Us Strangers in third place? Even it has more than twice as manby points? 

BEST NONFICTION FILM 

1. The Pigeon Tunnel (16 pts) (tie)  

    Twenty Days In Mariupol  (16 pts) (tie) 

3. Being Mary Tyler Moore (14 pts) 

4. De Humani Corporis Fabrica (13 pts) (tie) 

    Rewind & Play (13 pts) (tie)

    Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allows (13 pts) (tie) 

NOTE: Some grumble that giving Nonfiction it's own category almost guarantees it will never win Best Picture. The same fate may befall animated movies, which look poised to snag their own Category next year.

Pizza!  

BEST SUPPORTING ACTORS

1. Mehdi Bajestani for Holy Spider (34 pts) (tie) 

     Ayo Edebiri for Bottoms, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, The Sweet East and Theater Camp (34 pts) (tie) 

     Catalina Saavedra for Rotting In The Sun (34 pts) (tie) 

     Gustav De Waele for Close (34 pts) (tie) 

5. Jamie Bell for All Of Us Strangers (33 pts) 

6. Milo Machado-Graner for Anatomy Of A Fall (31 pts) 

7. Rasti Farooq for Joyland (29 pts) 

8. John Magaro for Past Lives and Showing Up (23 pts) 

9. Eita Nagayama for Monster (22 pts) (tie) 

     Rosamund Pike for Saltburn (22 pts) (tie)

NOTE: This is the second year where the IRAs treat acting like every other category. We don't vote for the best female cinematographer or the best male costumer or the best non-binary editor, so why vote for best female supporting actor and best male actor and so on?  So, unlike every other category, here voters can nominate up to TEN performances, plus we announce two winners based on total points only. And we list the top ten vote getters. Reasonable concerns that women might get overlooked in this new system are happily not panning out, though every year is different. Here, a delightful four way tie spreads the love and demonstrates Close is still a contender. 

POINT OF ORDER: Because tackling ten nominations at once is exhausting...and then we do it all over again (!), it is suggested by Greg that we move up the Supporting Actor vote earlier in the evening, just as the Oscars often hand out a Supporting Actor statue to kick the night off. 

                                            

BEST ACTORS

1. Greta Lee for Past Lives (59 pts)   

2. Eden Dambrine for Close (57 pts) 

3. Andrew Scott for All Of Us Strangers (55 pts) 

4. Sandra Hüller for Anatomy Of A Fall (35 pts) 

5. Lily Gladstone for Killers Of The Flower Moon (31 pts) 

6. Lío Mehiel for Mutt (25 pts) (tie) 

     Teyana Taylor for A Thousand And One (25 pts) (tie)

8. Aline Kuppenheim for Chile '76 aka 1976 (24 pts) 

9. Leonie Benesch for The Teacher's Lounge (21 pts) 

10. Zac Efron for The Iron Claw (18 pts) (tie) 

      Park Ji-Min for Return To Seoul (18 pts) (tie)

      Michelle Williams for Showing Up (18 pts) (tie) 

NOTE: A slugfest! We honor the top two vote getters but savvy voters notice Past Song and Close battled it out for the top spot, with Greta Lee just edging out the conflicted kid in Close. Andrew Scott is breathing down their necks with his therapy-with-ghosts drama All Of Us Strangers. And Monster is nowhere to be seen in the lead acting race. Is Kore-eda fading in the final minutes? 

FOOD BREAK 

Cake!  With Michael needing to depart Panera, an audible is called and they have cake in NYC while Michael skedaddles to a new location. 

BEST DIRECTOR

1. Celine Song for Past Lives (31 pts) 

2. Kore-eda Hirokazu for Monster (29 pts) 

3. Lukas Dhont for Close (24 pts)

4. Andrew Haigh for All Of Us Strangers (22 pts) 

5. Ali Abbasi for Holy Spider (16 pts) 

NOTE: The IRAs embrace no official philosophy when it comes to cinema, but auteurism has many friends here. In a nail-biter, Celine Song becomes only the fourth woman in IRA history to win Best Director. However, the times they are a-changing: Song is the third female winner in the past six years, joining Miranda July, who won for Kajillionaire (2020) and Nadine Lubaki, who won for Capernaum  (2018). The fourth winner is Nancy Savoca, who won for Household Saints (1993). When someone wins Best Director, they usually also win for --  

BEST PICTURE

1. Monster (31 pts) 

2. Past Lives (29 pts) 

3. Close (26 pts) 

4. All Of Us Strangers (21 pts) 

5. Holy Spider (18 pts) 

NOTE: -- but wait! In a split decision, Past Lives won Best Director but Monster won Best Picture. Close, All Of Us Strangers and Holy Spider held their positions in 3-5. Monster becomes the 19th film not primarily in English to be honored as Best Picture. Clearly, the IRAs have fans of great movies from whatever country and in whatever language. Yet here too a trend can be spotted. Six of the last seven Best Picture winners are international films not in English. Vive le cinéma! 

 

SOMINEX (The movie that put us to sleep)

1. Priscilla (16 pts) (tie) 

    The Zone Of Interest (16 pts) (tie) 

3. Asteroid City (14 pts) 

4. Barbie (10 pts) (tie) 

    Beau Is Afraid (10 pts) (tie)

    Origin (10 pts) (tie)

             

DRAMAMINE (The film that made us sick)

5. Phoebe Waller-Bridge for Indiana Jones & The Dial Of Destiny (23 pts)

WHO OR WHAT ARE THE IRAS? A HISTORY

The IRAs are a mysterious but august film society that has voted on the best films of the year since 1976. Officially known as the New York Independent Film Critics Awards -- but lovingly nicknamed the IRAs -- they are more international and indie focused than the Oscars, more mercurial than the LA Film Critics, more loyal to their favorites than the Golden Globes. 

The IRAs began when passionate film students and friends complained about the parade of annual awards shows, declaring, "We could do better!" What followed was an all-night, knock-down, drag-out fight to establish the very first winners of the IRAs. (One of the members is named Ira, but how his name became the name of the award is a story lost in the mist of time, alcohol and since it was the 1970s perhaps cannabis.) The IRAs group has been profiled in The New Yorker, so it is officially a New York institution, though no one has ever heard of it. Over the years, its rotating cast of voting members have included Oscar-winning writers, major directors, top studio execs, best-selling and critically acclaimed authors of books on movies, critics, screenwriters, budding playwrights, film scholars, plain old movie buffs and so on. 

Every year, the IRAs shine a light on some of the best movies of the year. The secret reason the IRAs flourish is that its members are passionate film lovers. Many have careers involving the arts, but it's not always easy to stay in the swim of things, to keep on top of the flood of new releases every year, especially when the movies favored by IRA members are not always playing at your local multiplex for weeks at a time. The movies they appreciate tend to be harder to catch, playing in theaters only briefly before popping up (hopefully) eventually on some streaming service or DVD. Quite simply, the IRAs force them to stay committed to seeing new movies with the same fervor they felt in their college days when going to see a film was the only purpose in life, before jobs and family made frivolous claims on their time. So if you want to stay on top of great cinema every year or explore its history, there's no better place to start than the award winners of the IRAs. 

True, the IRAs have no more claim to pronounce the best films of the year than anyone else. But they've been doing it for decades so hey, it's tradition!
