Share

“Spotlight” continues to pick up steam after wins in Los Angeles and Boston yesterday. Now Washington DC area film critics chime in. George Miller also cited for directing “Mad Max: Fury Road.” It does appear Miller is headed to nods from the DGA and Academy, which is fine. Nice nod here to Idris Elba.
