NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2015 HOUSTON FILM CRITICS SOCIETY AWARDS



Another day, another southern critics group fails to recognise Carol in the uppermost categories. TWC seems to have dropped the ball somewhat in getting the film out to certain critics; other critics have most definitely dropped it, though, in putting films like The Big Short and Steve Jobs before it.
