If we’re judging on award count alone, Richard Linklater’s Boyhood is the best thing ever. Well, the best movie of 2014 anyway. The movie, which tracks a young boy’s coming of age took 12 years to make. Now it looks like all that work is paying off. So what else has the concept film won these days?

Boyhood Still
Oh, and did I mention the film looks absolutely gorgeous?

The coming of age drama was named best picture of 2014 by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association (Lafca) on Sunday. Boyhood was also named best picture by the Boston Society of Film Critics. It looks like Boyhood is gaining some momentum in this year’s awards race. You already knew that, though, so I’ll just list the other awards the movie has nabbed in the past week or so.
