The Online Film Critics Society (OFCS), of which I am a member, congratulates the winners of the 18th annual OFCS awards. The Grand Budapest Hotel, which scored the most overall nominations, leads the pack with three wins including Best Picture, although the critics spread the love around a few films with Birdman also scooping three prizes including Best Actor for Michael Keaton and Boyhood and Gone Girl each winning two awards. The OFCS is an international organization of film critics furthering the work of web-based writers.

Congrats again to all the winners for making 2014 such a strong year for film!
