The Hollywood Critics Association has added to its already-announced Creative Arts Awards nominations with those for above-the-line categories, and there's a familiar name at the top of their list. With nine mentions here, that gives a gargantuan 16 total nominations from the HCA for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Nothing even comes close in these top categories here - The Banshees of Inisherin notches up seven (eight total), and both Tar and Women Talking receive five (five and seven total, respectively). The HCA really thinks something of itself, so they have a live, in-person ceremony in the Beverly Wilshire scheduled for 24 February (Creative Arts Awards will be handed out on 17 February).
