ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE SURPRISES IN TOP AWFJ AWARD CATEGORIES


The Alliance of Women Film Journalists had planned on announcing its nominees on the 29th of December... yeh, so that didn't happen. But they're here, finally, ahead of their awards announcement on Monday, the 12th of January. Unless they forget again... Only Lovers Left Alive pulls off a curious feat by scoring shock nominations in the top two categories, and nowhere else in the group's Best Of categories. Had others been expanded to five choices, though, the story may have been different. Here are all the details:
