14 Dec Critics Choice Nominations: ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ Leads With 14, ‘She Said’ Misses in All but Screenplay
With the Critics Choice Awards coming through with their nominations this morning, we now have the penultimate piece of the puzzle (other than the Producers Guild Awards which will release on January 12th) when it comes to the Best Picture nomination slate. At this point, ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’, ‘The Fabelmans’, ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, ‘Tar’, ‘Babylon’, ‘Women Talking’, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, and ‘Elvis’ are all essentially locked for nominations. ‘Glass Onion’, ‘Avatar’, and ‘RRR’ were also given nods, while other films on the cusp like ‘She Said, ‘The Woman King’, ‘Till’, ‘The Whale’ and ‘Triangle of Sadness’ missed the cut. In my eyes, ‘She Said’, a film that I had predicted for a Best Picture nod up to this point, now needs a PGA nod to stay in the slate. At this point, my picks for which films will fill the remaining two slots in Best Picture are ‘Avatar: The Way of the Water’ and ‘RRR’ (though Aftersun also has a pretty good chance of taking this tenth slot).
