NORTH CAROLINA FILM CRITICS ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES ITS SLATE OF NOMINEES FOR 2015


The Tar Heel state's finest critics - or so we might assume - convalesced and decided upon the following selection of nominations for its 2015 awards! Inside Out bags a Best Narrative Film nomination, which is highly welcome alongside its Animated Film nod, and it makes for strong female representation in the top category with this group. Nevertheless, due to the apparent disqualification of documentaries from said category, it won't be able to count into the SOS Best Picture tally. Award winners will be announced on the 4th of January. Check out the nominees just below:
