New York Film Critics Circle Awards: 1999

NYFCC Award

Date:	9 January 2000 (announced: 16 December)
Location:	Windows on the World, New York, New York, USA
Notes:	For the first time in its history, the Circle presented an award for Best Animated Film. On the decision to add this award, the group's 1999 chairman, Owen Gleiberman (Entertainment Weekly) remarked, "You could almost say that this award category created itself. There has been such an increase in animated features targeted at adults as well as children, that as critics we felt we had to recognize superior achievement in the field."
