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

4th Central Florida Critics Awards
Central Florida’s film critics dug Wicked more than most critics groups have so far this season. It couldn’t top Anora for Best Picture but it came close.

22nd San Francisco Critics Awards
The winners seemed certain from the start, though a few of these (Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Joan Chen specifically) are outside the norm, which is nice to see every once in a while. Awards Tallies (4) Anora, The Brutalist (2) Sing Sing (1) Dìdi, Femme, Flow, Hard Truths, The Seed of the Sacred Fig, Sugarcane The

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.

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

65th British Academy Longlists
A lot of Oscar’s top contenders are here but several are missing. Nickel Boys and Sing Sing did poorly with BAFTA voters. Overall, here are the surprise omissions and inclusions. 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
