I’m not sure when these were announced as the Houston Film Critics website is one of the most poorly controlled sites any critics organization uses. I found these by happenstance while looking at their list on IMDb. As to the nominees themselves, there are few insights here other than the horrid tendency to classify co-lead Rooney Mara as a supporting actress in her movie. Apart from that, there are no new insights into this year’s awards race provided.
