With only eighteen members in the St. Louis Film Critics Association, ties tended to come up quite frequently (not as bad as the 4 Hawaii film critics, though) and they also made no bones about how much they love Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, which nearly swept the group’s prizes with nine awards. 1917 took three as the next most honored. A lot of what we’ve seen so far this season is repeated here.
