VANCOUVER FILM CRITICS CIRCLE NOMINATIONS - 12 YEARS LEADS INTERNATIONAL, THE DIRTIES LOCAL

The Vancouver Film Critics Circle is the first critic group in a few days to announce results of either nominations of awards, and it'll possibly be the last for more than just a few. 12 Years a Slave leads the international nominations, unsurprisingly, with six mentions, and Gravity and Inside Llewyn Davis follow with three and four, respectively, both appearing in the Best Film and Director categories. In the Canadian Film categories, Matt Johnson's The Dirties wins five nominations, and ought to go into their awards on the 7th of January as the favourite.
