London Critics' Circle moves film honours

LONDON -- The London Critics' Circle Film Honours has moved its date from mid-February towards the month of the month of january. The 32nd edition in the ceremony will probably be held Jan. 19 at London's BFI Southbank. Jason Solomons, chairman in the Critics' Circle Film Section, will host the ceremony. The alteration in dates takes the ceremony in the crowded honours month of February -- when the BAFTAs and Academy awards unspool -- and in to a window that's more vulnerable to attract star talent. "This date change will further underline the distinctive options of individuals who win and nominees which will make the London Critics' Circle Film Honours stand out within the crowd, highlighting certain films, performances and achievements that could be overlooked by other honours occasions," mentioned Solomons in the statement. Since its first edition in 1980, the Critics' Circle Film Honours have attracted a raft of talent, including Quentin Tarantino, Michael Caine, Martin Scorsese, Take advantage of Fiennes, Vanessa Redgrave, Kate Winslet and Kevin Spacey. The forthcoming edition will again occur in the help of the Critics' Circle charitable organization partner, the BFI National Archive, to help while using upkeep and restoration of British photos, including nine quiet features from Alfred Hitchcock.
