Critics Choice Awards Nominees: “12 Years,” “Hustle,” “Gravity” Lead the Pack

Share

The Broadcast Critics have sent out their nominations for the 19th annual Critics Choice Awards. Conspicuously absent are a couple of films, like “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” and “Mud.” “The Butler” and “August: Osage County” didn’t make the Best Picture list but made Best Acting Ensemble. Brie Larson turned up in Best Actress from a phenomenal movie called “Short Term 12,” which had no release at all from Cinedigm. This is a grass roots campaign. I’m very chagrined that this group, of which I am a voting member, had no love for “Fruitvale Station.” That seems criminal to me. Critics Choice Awards are on the CW Network on January 16th.
