NYFCC Awards ceremony is held every December, viewed as a kick-starter of the upcoming Awards Season, finishing with the Academy Awards, scheduled for March 2022.

Along with Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics,  the NYFCC is known for its highbrow taste. Its annual awards are one of the more prestigious film critics awards and are often viewed as harbingers of Oscar nominations.
