THE 25th CRITICS’ CHOICE AWARDS – THE NOMINATIONS

I love being a member of the Broadcast Film Critics’ Association, and it’s always an exciting time when we get to announce our nominations. The Irishman leads the way with 14 nominations while Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood is not far behind with 12 nominations. I’m quite shocked that Waves, one of my favorites this year, is nowhere to be found. Here are the nominees…
