“Mad Max,” “Carol,” “The Martian” Lead Critics Choice Awards Nominations

Share

“Carol” and “The Martian” I get. “Mad Max: Fury Road,” I don’t get but that’s what makes life interesting. The Broadcast Critics gave George Miller’s movie 13 nominations, the most of any film. I doubt it’s going to win, but who knows at this point? The National Board of Review made it their Best Picture, and they’re a total embarrassment. Pretty much all the other noms are just fine and expected. I really like the Michael Shannon nomination for “99 Homes.” And Charlotte Rampling. “Spotlight” received only two acting nominations, for Mark Ruffalo and Rachel McAdams.

The show airs Sunday January 17th from 8 to 11pm Eastern time on A&E, live from Santa Monica.
