AAFCA Awards ceremony celebration – via eurAI
*It’s awards season, and the African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) is once again part of the conversation of recognizing the best films and performances of the year. As co-founder as well as president/CEO of the largest group of Black critics in the world, I take great pride in our stellar history of identifying exceptional talent across the board. Since our founding over 20 years ago, we have remained committed to celebrating the many talented artists, above and below the line, veteran and emerging, who create the films we love.
For our 17th AAFCA Awards ceremony on February 8th, we are thrilled to celebrate Ryan Coogler’s period vampire horror film Sinners as our top vote-getter across the board. We were also there to support and champion his 2013 feature film debut, Fruitvale Station, which marked his very first collaboration with Jordan.
As flattering as it is that the AAFCA Awards have evolved into one of the tentpole events consistently recognized by the film industry as a barometer for influencing the Oscar race, so many people are unaware of the work AAFCA does beyond dressing up and distributing awards.
