Es ist nahezu unmöglich alle Kritikerawards aufzulisten, die bereits schon vergeben haben, aber wir versuchen es mal um ein wenig Licht ins Dunkle zu bekommen und resümieren wer die größten Chancen hat (Stand jetzt) auf eine Oscarnominierung! Viel Spaß damit und erste Gedanken immer raus damit! Man bedenke, dass die Kritikerawards ein erster Indikator sind, dass Rennen aber u.a. durch die Foreign Press (Golden Globes), die Schauspielguilde (Screen Actors Guild aka. SAG Awards), Die Regie-Guilde (Directors Guild of America aka. DGA Awards) und die britischen Oscars (BAFTA Awards) nochmal gedreht werden kann! Einige Frontrunner überraschen aber bereits….

ONLINE FILM CRITICS SOCIETY (OFCS)

The OFCS Top Ten:

1. Nomadland

2. Da 5 Bloods

3. Promising Young Woman

4. Never Rarely Sometimes Always

5. First Cow

6. Minari

7. Sound of Metal

8. I’m Thinking of Ending Things

9. Soul

10. The Trial of the Chicago 7

Despite an unusual movie-going season with the pandemic in play, OFCS handed out nods in a variety of categories, including Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress as well as Best Debut Feature.

“This list of nominations showcases the diversity and broad expressiveness of the film community. In a year where nothing was as we expected, and those expectations had to shift, cinema not only maintained its creativity and expansive canvas, but it managed to give new voices a chance to speak louder than they might have in any other year,” said Wesley Lovell, a member of the Governing Committee of OFCS, and founder of CinemaSight.com.

He added, “In our directing category alone, we have four women, each at varying points in their careers, alongside one of the major voices of his generation. It is one of our most diverse slates ever. As for the nominees of Best Picture, the feature films represent filmmakers from a wide array of backgrounds and experiences who are able to explore subjects that exemplify the breadth of American life in unique and compelling ways. I don’t think we could be more proud of the selections our members have made this year.”
