Chicago Film Critics Association Awards 1989


The 2nd Chicago Film Critics Association Awards were announced on March 8, 1990, at an awards ceremony held in The Pump Room. They honor achievements in 1989 filmmaking. Twenty-seven of the CFCA members voted for the awards. Do the Right Thing earned three accolades, including Best Film, and its director Spike Lee commented that the awards made up for the lack of nominations at that year's Academy Awards. Actress Laura San Giacomo received two awards for her role as Cynthia Patrice Bishop in Sex, Lies, and Videotape.
