The 26th CRITICS’ CHOICE AWARDS – THE NOMINATIONS As a voting member of the Critics’ Choice Association, it’s always an exciting time when we get to announce our nominations. David Fincher’s Mank leads the pack with 12 nominations. Minari quickly followed behind with an impressive 10 nominations. I was thrilled to see Delroy Lindo land a Best Actor nomination for Da 5 Bloods, and Paul Raci make the list for Best Supporting Actor for Sound of Metal. Both Lindo and Raci have been absent from the Golden Globes and SAG nominations.
