Historical data for the St. Louis Film Critics Association is hard to track down and since I had not realized they had given out their nominations a week ago, this set of data is significantly delayed. Without a firm view of how the group has nominated in the past, I can’t really say much about this data or how well it aligns with the Oscars.

In addition to the nominees and/or winners listed below, this year, we’re giving you a quick background on each individual precursor including founding year, first awards year and a glimpse at how many predictions the group has gotten right in the last five years. This data can be found below.
