The 29th Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, given by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association (LAFCA) on January 7, 2004, honored the best in film for 2003. The ceremony was originally called off because of the MPAA screener ban[1] as members felt they could not see all the movies in time for their awards but when that was removed the show was back on.[2][3]
