Broadcast Critics Go Big for “Lincoln,” “Les Miz” and “Silver Linings Playbook”

Share

The Broadcast Critics–who choose the Critics Choice Awards–are just announcing their nominations for 2012. The group gave its most nods to “Lincoln,” “Les Miz,” and “Silver Linings Playbook.” They received, respectively, 13, 11, and 10 nominations each.

Two really great choices were in Best Supporting Actor and Actress– for Javier Bardem and Judi Dench in the James Bond movie “Skyfall.” How wonderful is that?

One notable omission: Leonardo DiCaprio for “Django Unchained.” Even though “Django” got a Best Picture nod, none of its actors nor director Quentin Tarantino was cited. Tarantino did get a nomination for Best Original Screenplay. “Django” was screened late, which may have been a problem. Also, voters only get three choices per category, and “Django” being so late may not have had time to sink in.

Also missing is a supporting actor for “Les Miz.” I think voters are confused about Russell Crowe and Eddie Redmayne, so chose neither. They’re both good, but I’d go for Redmayne in this case.

Some terrific movies are now going to start falling away from the awards season but should really be seen when they come out. They include “Promised Land” with Matt Damon and John Krasinski, and “Quartet,” directed by Dustin Hoffman. Even without awards, they are well worth seeing. Also “Hitchcock” with Helen Mirren and Anthony Hopkins.

The Critics Choice Awards air on the CW Network on January 10th.
