WASHINGTON D.C. AREA FILM CRITICS ASSOCIATION NOMINATIONS

Lots of love for Her from the Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association, confirming what the NBR suggested - that Spike Jonze's latest if a force to be reckoned with this awards season. Also some expected heat for 12 Years a Slave and Gravity, but what's new?! A Best Director nomination for Baz Luhrmann was not, however, in the least bit expected. Winners will be announced tomorrow, on the 9th.
