The Black Film Critics Circle today announced the winners of their 2016 annual awards. Among the honorees were FENCES co-stars Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. The film also received a nod for Best Ensemble, while playwright August Wilson picked up a prize for his adapted screenplay.
Commented BFCC Co-president Gary Sargent, "This has been a year of progress for cinema of color, though politically it may seem we may be moving backwards. The recent announcement from BAFTA and the changes behind the scenes in Hollywood and the global film industry have been represented in this year's slate of films. Their successes at the box office and acknowledgement by fellow awards organizations denote the significance of the global black experience as captured on film."
