Belfast, The Power of the Dog lead 2021 Hawaii Film Critics Society award nominations
Never worth dwelling on, the Hawaii Film Critics Society's awards nominations for 2021 have been announced. Highlights(?) include Destin Daniel Cretton in Best Drector, The Matrix Resurrections in Worst Film (but rly, why are we still doing categories like this?), separate categories for Best New Filmmaker and Best First Film... with different nominees, and nine nods for Last Night in Soho. Winners will be announced on the 14th of January. I truly do dread to think...
