It won't create quite the same stir that yesterday's shock SAG nominations did, but the Detroit Film Critics Society's slate for the best of film in 2015 is arguably even more shocking. Not so shocking is that Spotlight appears to be the most compelling choice to win big with the DFCS, but you can count almost everything else from there as seriously strange: a mere two nominations for Todd Haynes' critically-acclaimed Carol and the same number for David O. Russell's critically-derided Joy; three in major categories for Youth (of all films!) yet nothing for Jane Fonda; so much love for Inside Out it makes it into Best Ensemble; Liev Schreiber chosen as Spotlight's sole acting nominee and garnering a nod over Supporting Actor frontrunners Mark Rylance and Sylvester Stallone; Best Breakthrough nods for Sean Baker and Alicia Vikander, despite both surely having broken through some years ago; and then curious redemption in recognition for James White's Christopher Abbott and Cynthia Nixon! We'll see if the actual awards are as baffling as the nominations when the DFCS makes its final choices on the 14th of December. Until then, the nominations themselves:
