28th Online Film Critics Society AwardsNominations 17.Jan.25 • Winners 27.Jan.25 Notes by Rich: One of the awards I get to vote in, the Online Film Critics Society was established in 1997, and is now part of the mainstream awards season. Members come from all over the world, but the predominantly American membership (and US eligibility rules) is slowly shifting as more globally minded critics come on board. The annual citations for non-US releases is a great start. As usual, this group's nominations tend to follow the zeitgeist, with a few geeky touches here and there. Note the much stronger showing for Dune: Part Two than most awards groups, plus lots of love for The Substance, Conclave, Anora and Challengers. Otherwise, the favourites are strongly represented across the nominations, even if The Brutalist, Emilia Perez, Nickel Boys and Wicked all went home empty-handed. Rich Cline has been a member of the OFCS since September 2003. See also: The OFCS site |
