2022 Georgia Film Critics Association awards nominations announced
I recall being a tad dismissive toward the Georgia Film Critics Association when it was founded a few years back, but the subsequent years have proved my dismissiveness quite misplaced! Their 2022 awards nominations are a fairly stellar bunch overall, as usual, with some welcome, healthy appreciation for movies like The Fabelmans (with eight nominations), Decision to Leave (with five) and Nope (with six). Alas, it's still Everything Everywhere All at Once leading the pack with nine mentions, but beggers can't always be choosers! Winners will be announced on 13 January.
