23rd Online Film Critics Society Awards Nominations 18.Jan.22 • Winners 24.Jan.22 Notes by Rich: One of the awards I get to vote in, 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 (and US eligibility rules) is slowly shifting as more globally minded critics come on board. The annual citations for non-US releases is a great start. This year's nominations look more like other critics groups than usual, echoing the impact of The Power of the Dog, Drive My Car, Flee and Licorice Pizza, while resisting pushy campaigns from underwhelming films like King Richard. That said, these are online critics, so they of course made more space for crowd-pleasers like Dune and West Side Story, plus quirkier cult favourites like The Green Knight, Pig and Titane. In the final voting round, it was surprising to see The Power of the Dog so comprehensively sweep the boards. The only offbeat touch is Pig's screenplay win. Rich Cline has been a member of the OFCS since September 2003. See also: The OFCS site
