Shocked I missed these when they were announced a full week ago! Beasts of the Southern Wild dominates, racking up seven nominations in total. Unlike last year, then, Chlotrudis look unlikely to match up with Oscar. Nevertheless, I can't help but feel somewhat disappointed by their slate this year, with many of my favourites (The Turin Horse, Amour, Keep the Lights On, The Hunt) passed up entirely, and others snubbed in several categories (Holy Motors, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia). The Chlotrudis Society allows its members to cast votes for films which didn't receive much love last year the following year, so perhaps there's still hope for some of those absentees, particularly The Hunt, which hasn't yet been released in America. Rust and Bone and Bullhead also show up in a number of categories, and Matthias Schoenaerts garners two separate nominations, and how deserved they are. Winners will be announced on the 17th of March.
