58th National Society of Film Critics Awards
The last of the grand old critics groups to announce and while their selections are all over the place tally-wise, it’s clear that Nickel Boys has earned the appreciation of critics whereas BAFTA showed great disdain for the film. An interesting dynamic to be sure. Awards Tallies (2) All We Imagine as Light, Hard Truths,…

3rd UK Critics Nominations
UK critics don’t nominate in all the standard categories and they certainly don’t follow American release windows. That’s why you see a few 2023 Oscar contenders on the list (The Zone of Truth, The Iron Claw, and The Holdovers. The rest are 2024 contenders and while they definitely aren’t following the herd, it’s clear they…

22nd San Francisco Critics Awards

22nd San Francisco Critics Nominations
Not much new or different here. Much the same types of films being recognized though Hard Truths got more love from this group than it seemed to have from the BAFTA nominations. Nominations Tallies (9) The Brutalist (7) Conclave (6) Anora (4) Emilia Pérez, Hard Truths, Nickel Boys, Sing Sing (3) Dune: Part Two, The…

22nd Columbus Critics Nominations
The later-announcing groups often feel redundant and much of what’s here certainly feels that way, though it seems Nosferatu is better regarded in Ohio than in most other critic hubs. Nominations Tallies (10) The Brutalist (9) Nosferatu (8) Dune: Part Two (7) Anora, Conclave, The Substance (6) Challengers, Nickel Boys (5) Sing Sing (3) A…

Rather than listing them out here, I’ll inset them within the below to make it easier to follow. Certain categories will not have an addendum…

8th Online Female Critics Awards
The Substance was the easy winner of most awards with this group but a tie in Best Picture led to co-best-of status with Anora, which took a total of 2 awards to Substance‘s 6. Nothing particularly alarming or exciting here. Awards Tallies (6) The Substance (2) Anora, Conclave, A Real Pain (1) All We Imagine…
