The Women Film Critics Circle 2019 – Ganadores
El Women Film Critics Circle anunció sus nominaciones para las mejores películas de 2019 hechas por y sobre mujeres a primeros de diciembre y los ganadores el día 7 de diciembre. Tienen en consideración los logros destacados de mujeres, que rara vez llegan a ser honrados históricamente en el mundo del cine.
The Women Film Critics Circle es una asociación de mujeres, críticos de cine de todo el país y a nivel internacional, están involucradas en prensa, radio, Internet y los medios de difusión televisiva.
Se unieron en 2004 para formar la primera organización de mujeres de la Crítica en los Estados Unidos, en la creencia de que las perspectivas y voces de las mujeres en la crítica de cine necesitan ser reconocidas plenamente. WFCC también se enorgullece de ser el grupo de críticos más cultural y racialmente diverso en el país y el mejor reflejo de la diversidad de las audiencias de cine.

WFCC HALL OF SHAME
*Hustlers – This was NOT a female empowering film as it was billed to be. But rather an eye candy vehicle for men to watch Jennifer Lopez show off her butt and pole dancing skills.
*Vita & Virginia: For portraying Virginia Woolf as a waif instead of a force of nature.
*Roger Ailes: A monster, who this year was especially exposed for his monstrosity both on film in Bombshell, and on television in The Loudest Voice.
*Luc Besson: Who has been officially charged with sexual assault by at least nine women. The actions not only affected the lives of the women assaulted, but also all the people associated with his latest film, Anna.
*John Krasinski: The actor brags about soliciting CIA instructions for his macho ‘thank you to the CIA every day’ role as ‘Next Stop Venezuela’ Jack Ryan, in that repugnant propaganda infomercial for US imperialism’s neo-Monroe Doctrine assault on Latin America.

Sobre los premios especiales:
*ADRIENNE SHELLY AWARD: Adrienne Shelly was a promising actress and filmmaker who was brutally strangled in her apartment in 2006 at the age of forty by a construction worker in the building, after she complained about noise. Her killer tried to cover up his crime by hanging her from a shower20rack in her bathroom, to make it look like a suicide. He later confessed that he was having a “bad day.” Shelly, who left behind a baby daughter, had just completed her film Waitress, which she also starred in, and which was honored at Sundance after her death.
*JOSEPHINE BAKER AWARD: The daughter of a laundress and a musician, Baker overcame being born black, female and poor, and marriage at age fifteen, to become an internationally acclaimed legendary performer, starring in the films Princess Tam Tam, Moulin Rouge and Zou Zou. She also survived the race riots in East St. Louis, Illinois as a child, and later expatriated to France to escape US racism. After participating heroically in the underground French Resistance during WWII, Baker returned to the US where she was a crusader for racial equality. Her activism led to attacks against her by reporter Walter Winchell who denounced her as a communist, leading her to wage a battle against him. Baker was instrumental in ending segregation in many theaters and clubs, where she refused to perform unless integration was implemented.
*KAREN MORLEY AWARD: Karen Morley was a promising Hollywood star in the 1930s, in such films as Mata Hari and Our Daily Bread. She was driven out of Hollywood for her leftist political convictions by the Blacklist and for refusing to testify against other actors, while Robert Taylor and Sterling Hayden were informants against her. And also for daring to have a child and become a mother, unacceptable for female stars in those days. Morley maintained her militant political activism for the rest of her life, running for Lieutenant Governor on the American Labor Party ticket in 1954. She passed away in 2003, unrepentant to the end, at the age of 93.
