Anyone who loves movies (or television shows or theater or any narrative entertainment medium, really) knows the frustration, anger, sorrow and other emotions that go along with having portions of a movie spoiled for you.

Precursor: 20th San Diego Critics Nominations (2015)
While Mad Max: Fury Road had a great day, the big stories were the strong performances of Ex Machina, Brooklyn, The Martian and Room, which haven’t been performing nearly as well as this all season.

Other than that, I don’t see anything, but I’m sure there’s some controversy brewing…either here or with…

Precursor: 9th Detroit Critics Nominations (2015)
This is, to date, the most idiosyncratic set of nominations we’ve seen. Brooklyn has its best showing to date, but when a significant portion of the nominees selected aren’t going to compete very well at the Oscars, this list can be taken merely as it is: a group of critics’ choices, not a group of…
