The Seattle Film Critics Society has righted a few wrongs with their nominations for 2015 films. Surprises abound, from a Best Picture nomination for Clouds of Sils Maria to acting mentions for Nina Hoss and Mya Taylor, a nomination for When Marnie Was There in Animated Feature, and a major disappointment for Spotlight - only present in two categories: Original Screenplay and Ensemble Cast.
