Below are the nominees for this year’s Online Film Critics Society awards. As a voting member, I must say that I’m at times excited (the love for District 9) and at times irritated (Jackie Earle Haley? Seriously?). But, overall, a fairly straightforward list, little of which I’m not surprised to see nominated.

Nomination Tallies

(8) Inglourious Basterds

(5) District 9; Up in the Air
(4) A Serious Man
