The Las Vegas Film Critics Society has selected their 2021 Award Winners. As the Critics Society that I get to vote in, I figured I’d share the winners here on our website for anyone who wants to check them out. Any of these we covered on Piecing It Together are linked to their respective episodes (and keep an eye out for our upcoming episode on “Licorice Pizza” that’s already recorded).
Check out more from the Las Vegas Film Critics Society on their website at http://www.lvfcs.org/news.html
We’ll be back with an episode later this week on “Red Rocket” and have a bunch more episodes coming your way in December!
