    In what is likely to mirror this year's Oscars, the Hollywood musical La La Land was the big winner at the 10th annual Houston Film Critics Society Film Awards, which were announced at the Midtown Arts & Theatre Center Friday night. The movie won seven awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Damien Chazelle), Best Cinematography (Linus Sandgren), Best Original Score (Justin Hurwitz), Best Song ("City of Stars"), Technical Achievement for the film's production design, and Best Poster.

    However the film's stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were shut out in the top acting roles. Best Actor went to Casey Affleck for Manchester By The Sea and Natalie Portman won Best Actress for Jackie.

    Moonlight, which won the Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association's Best Film award as well as many national honors, was overlooked by the Houston film critics, although it was nominated in seven categories.

    Other winners from the Houston film critics include:

    Best Supporting Actor: Jeff Bridges, Hell or High Water
    Best Supporting Actress: Viola Davis, Fences
    Best Screenplay: Taylor Sheridan, Hell or High Water
    Best Animated Film: Kubo and the Two Strings
    Best Documentary: O.J.: Made in America
    Best Foreign Film: The Handmaiden
    Outstanding Cinematic Contribution: The Alamo Drafthouse
    Lifetime Achievement: Margo Martindale
    Texas Independent Film Award: Tower
    Worst Film: Zoolander 2

    Thirty film critics and reporters from the Houston metropolitan area took part in the voting. The awards ceremony was hosted by CW39's Maggie Flecknoe. Actress Margaret Bowman, who lives in Humble, accepted two awards on behalf of Hell or High Water, in which she co-stars, and animation director/co-producer Craig Staggs accepted the award for his film, Tower.

    Buzzy R&B artist Khalid brings summer back to Houston on 2026 tour

    Khalid is coming to Houston in June 2026.

    Texas R&B and pop artist Khalid is hitting the road for his 2026 It's Always Summer Somewhere Tour, including a stop at the 713 Music Hall in downtown Houston on June 18, 2026.

    The 25-date tour starts in Las Vegas, Nevada, in May and ends in Berkeley, California, in June. In addition to the Houston date, he'll stop in Irving on June 17 and Austin on June 19. He appears to be skipping his adopted hometown of El Paso, where his family moved when he was in high school and where he started his music career.

    The 27-year-old artist originally became known as a teenager on SoundCloud, resulting in several notable features and the critically acclaimed album American Teen. Since those days, he's had features on tracks by Marshmello, Billie Eilish, Halsey, and Normani, among others. He's released four albums in total, including 2025's After the Sun Goes Down.

    Khalid has been nominated to many notable awards and won at least 20, including five at the Billboard Music Awards in 2020 and Best New Artist at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. He's had six Grammy nominations so far.

    Pop singer Lauv, known for the breakout hit "I Like Me Better," will join Khalid for all stops on the tour.

    Tickets are available now in an artist pre-sale. The general on sale will start Friday, December 12, at 10 am via khalidofficial.com.
