Critics Choice Nominees: “Manchester,” “Moonlight,” “Lion,” “La La Land” “Arrival” Top the List

Share

The Broadcast Film Critics have announced the nominations for Critics Choice Awards, which will air December 11th on A&E. The biggest vote getters were “Manchester by the Sea,” “Moonlight,” “Lion,” “La La Land,” and “Arrival.” One movie that suffered I think from a too early release was “Florence Foster Jenkins.” Meryl Streep was only nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy. (That may have also been due to lack of a screener DVD for voters.) Same goes for “Hidden Figures,” which has had a stealth non campaign. Justin Timberlake got a Best Song nomination for “Can’t Stop the Feeling” from “Trolls.”
