The Chicago Film Critics Association named Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" the Best Picture of 2023 at an awards dinner tonight. However, Pic and Director split this year with Christopher Nolan taking home the prize for "Oppenheimer." In fact, all five of this year's Best Picture nominees received an award as the association spread the wealth to a number of films they loved.
