29th Online Film Critics Society Awards Nominations 12.Jan.26 • Winners 26.Jan.26 Notes by Rich: The Online Film Critics Society was established in 1997, and I joined in 2003. Some 300 members come from all over the world, and the predominantly American membership (and US eligibility rules) is slowly shifting as more globally minded critics come on board. Annual citations for non-US releases are a great start, but representation continues to be fairly limited to mainstream awards buzz. Yes, this group's nominations tend to follow the usual zeitgeist, with a few geeky touches here and there. Although this year's list feel much more mainstream than usual. There are still some foreign-language films dotted through the nominee lists, but not many surprises (a big cheer for The Ugly Stepsister's makeup nod). And I suspect the winners list will also be a bit predictable - even if I add some spice with my ballot. Rich Cline has been a member of the OFCS since September 2003. See also: The OFCS site
