THE PAST WINS AT CHLOTRUDIS AWARDS


Asghar Farhadi won his second and third Chlotrudis awards at the weekend, as The Past won the society's awards for Best Movie, Best Director (he previously won that award for A Separation) and Best Original Screenplay. Thankfully - though this became clear when nominations were announced - they have shunned Oscar, even if this is the second year in a row in which the Academy has picked a significantly better film for their top award. Always pleased to see Chlotrudis assert their independence over the other groups handing out awards in the December-March period. Nominations can be found here.
