27th Las Vegas Critics Nominations

Las Vegas’ critics aren’t very good at getting the word out (or updating their website). Here are the nominees for the Las Vegas critics’ awards, presumably announced on the 8th based on the sole article I found covering it. These are directly from the list on IMDb and there’s absolutely nothing shocking in them.
