    29th San Diego Critics Nominations & Awards

    Every year, I seem to miss the announcement of their nominations and find them when I see their awards announced. Anyway, clear love for major Oscar contenders with extra special attention on Sing Sing. Wicked scored eight nominations but wasn’t in the Best Picture slate. Rather surprising.
