NEW YORK (AP) — Martin Scorsese's “Killers of the Flower Moon” has been named the best film of the year by the New York Film Critics Circle.

It's the third time that Scorsese has been given the best film award from his hometown's critics, who named 1990's “GoodFellas” their top movie, as well as 2019's “The Irishman.” On Thursday, the group also awarded Lily Gladstone, who stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in “Killers of the Flower Moon," best actress.

“Killers of the Flower Moon,” a $200 million Apple Studios production based on David Grann's nonfiction bestseller, chronicles the Osage murders of the 1920s.
