20th Online Film Critics AwardsNominations 27.Dec.16 • Winners 3.Jan.17 Notes by Rich: The Online Film Critics Society was established in 1997, and is now part of the mainstream awards season. Members come from all over the world, but the predominantly American membership is starting to give way to more global critics, as evidenced by some quirky nominations and the (noncompetitive) list of best non-U.S. releases. Nominations this year are bit more predictable this year, with all of the usual buzz-leaders in their place (apart from Annette Bening), and a clear emphasis on American actors and filmmakers. One foreign film and one documentary made it onto the best film list this year, which is some progress in this direction, perhaps. There are some nice-surprise inclusions among both the nominees (The Witch, Tom Bennett) and the winners (Hell or High Water and Arrival for screenplays, extra Moonlight love). Rich Cline has been a member of the OFCS since September 2003. See also: The OFCS site |
