GEORGIA FILM CRITICS ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES 2015 NOMINEES


It'll surprise few that Mad Max: Fury Road, currently the overall favourite from critics awards and polls for the 2015-16 awards season, leads the nominations for the Georgia Film Critics Association's awards. It's a fine choice from the group, and I find no fault in their general snub of The Hateful Eight and a highly deserved credit for The Assassin in Best Cinematography. But a mere four mentions for Carol over at least 12 eligible categories is shameful, if wholly expected among Southern / Midwestern critics groups. Winners will be revealed on the 8th of January.
