The Online Association of Female Film Critics has announced the nominees for its 2022 awards. Out in front with 11 nods is Everything Everywhere All at Once, followed by fellow Best Picture nominees The Banshees of Inisherin with seven, The Woman King with six, Women Talking with five, and Nope with four. Great to see Nope crack a five-strong BP list; confusing to see Mia Goth recognized as a "breakthrough" performer this many years into her career, but at least it's for a performance like that she gives in Pearl. Winners will be announced on 20 December.
