2022 Denver Film Critics Society awards nominations announced
You might remember when the Hawaii Film Critics Society did this last week... well, the Denver Film Critics Society has been around a bit longer than them, and they've got a much longer history of doing it! Nominations have been announced for their 2022 awards, and you'll never guess what order they're in... yup yup yup yup it's definitely not alphabetical, and it's definitely not random, and it's definitely probably in order of preference. Everything Everywhere All at Once leads this pack with 12 nominations, and judging by the order it stands to win just three of them, which would be uncommonly low for this movie, not least judging by that nomination haul. Winners will be announced on 16 January, so I suppose we'll see, won't we?
