Robert Nesti READ TIME: 1 MIN.
"Boyhood" is on a roll. The Los Angeles Film Critics Association named Richard Linklater's 12-year experiment their best picture of 2014 on Sunday.
Linklater also earned a best director honor for his film, while Patricia Arquette picked up best actress - an interesting choice, since IFC will be pushing her performance in the Supporting Actress category for all major awards.
The top acting honor went to Tom Hardy for "Locke." J.K. Simmons was awarded with best supporting actor for his portrayal of a sadistic jazz instructor in the indie "Whiplash."
Other notable honorees include the Polish drama "Ida" which won best foreign language film and best supporting actress for Agata Kulesza. Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel" picked up awards for screenplay and production design.
