"I think above all else, 2024 was a year for cinema where emerging yet bold voices tested what could even be done with the medium of film, whether it was through innovative direction or raw and personal writing. From RaMell Ross's painfully immersive vision for Nickel Boys to Jane Schoenbrun's enchanting depiction of gender dysphoria to Sean Wang's authentic showcase of teenage awkwardness, it is clear to me that no matter what happens in the terrifying world around us, we will always have artists from all walks of life unafraid to share their unique perspectives and experiment with the medium of film."

Technical Achievement of the Year: Challengers - Original score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

"I find it impossible to say that 2024 was a weak year for cinema when so many films we’ll be talking about for years have released. From horror films, to comedies, to space operas, to ambitious passion projects, this has been a year where we got reminded once again how great films can be."
