The 2014 OFCS Nominations
Today, the Online Film Critics Society announced its nominees for its 18th annnual year-end awards. I had the privledge of voting as a member of the OFCS for a second year, and while these wouldn’t necessarily be my choices for best films/performances/craft achievements of 2014, I’m genuinely excited that my colleagues and I have selected a diverse and somewhat unexpected group of nominees. I mean, how many critics groups have Mommy and Ida in their top tens?
Thankfully, we’ve got another week to vote on winners (a busy week of catching up with screeners for me), and I’ll be back next week at this time to report on that. In the mean time, check out the full list of 2014 OFCS nominees:
