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.

  1. Vancouver joins some many others in annointing 12 YEARS A SLAVE.

    Paddy, I am curious---is there a problem at AWARDS DAILY? Can't get anything there except a blue-tinted ghost of all the post for days. this has been an intermittent problem for months at that site. Shame too, as they are pretty much down now for the holidays.

    Happy Holidays to you my friend.

    1. Merry Christmas to you too Sam! Hope you and the family have a good one.

      I haven't had any issues with Awards Daily of the sort that you mention. They do occasionally have issues with false malware warnings, but other than that, I've noticed nothing lately. Sorry, don't think I can be of much help to you on that one mate :(
