Encyclopedia > Los Angeles Film Critics Association

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association ("LAFCA") was founded in 1975. Its main purpose is to present yearly awards to members of the film industry who have excelled in their fields. These awards are presented each January. Because of the promptness of the award presentation, right after the end of the year, the LAFCA awards and the Golden Globe Awards are seen as significant in presaging the winners of the Academy Awards, which are the United States film industry's biggest and most prestigious awards and are presented each year in March.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association - Awards 2003 (322 words)
The Los Angeles Film Critics Association, of which yours truly is a member, voted Saturday to cancel its awards for 2003.
The cause was the Motion Picture Association of America’s decision to ban screeners (video and DVD editions of the year’s film releases) from distribution to voters in the Motion Picture Academy and the various critics organizations which award annual prizes.
While no critic would dispute the right of a filmmaker to withhold his or her film from such distribution, the problem is that the major studios are using their muscle to make it a blanket prohibition.
