galecafipresci london critics baftas oscars shadows awards 24th Online Film Critics Society Awards

Nominations 18.Jan.23 • Winners 23.Jan.23

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.

Once again, this year's nominations reflect the general buzz during awards season, so they aren't terrible distinctive. But there are some nice touches scattered here and there, with one foreign-language film in the best picture lineup, for example. And there's Mia Goth's nomination for actress. But the truly offbeat nods of years past seem to have ended with the expanding membership in this group. At least the winners list has a refreshingly joyful kick to it.

Rich Cline has been a member of the OFCS since September 2003.               See also: The OFCS site
