The Online Film Critics Society is typically among the last of the major critics' groups to announce its awards nominations each season, and this is no exception. They've just revealed the nominees across the 18 competitive awards they're handing out in honour of the best in film for last year. Everything Everywhere All at Once expectedly leads the field with 11 nods, but there are some welcome surprises in their Best Picture lineup alongside it, from the somewhat unexpected (Nope) to the utterly, brilliantly unexpected (EO). They'll announce the winners on 23 January.
