LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA : The Hollywood Critics Association was established in Los Angeles in 2016 and has since developed into one of the most respected and varied critic organizations in the business. The HCA Film Awards ceremony now features even more variety in its sixth annual iteration. The awards continue to innovate at a high level, starting with novel categories like Best Voice or Motion-Capture Performance. Together with the other 2023 HCA Film Award recipients, three special recognitions will be presented this year: the Spotlight Award for the cast and crew of 'RRR', the Acting Achievement Award for Angela Bassett, and the Filmmaking Achievement Award for Rian Johnson.
