A reception in the museum galleries follows the ceremony.

The Houston Film Critics Society comprises print, broadcast, and Internet film critics. As award season heats up nationally, members of the HFCS present their own awards for top achievements in 2012. Along with this year’s Texas Independent Film Award, a Humanitarian award goes to the late Adam Yauch, and a Lifetime Achievement Award goes to actor Robert Duvall (not attending).

This event is free, but free tickets are required. For more information, call 713.639.7771.
