First Annual Music City Film Critics Association Award Nominations
Tennessee hasn't been represented on the film critics group front until now, with the Nashville-based Music City Film Critics Association announcing their first ever award nominations. And unlike several other supposed 'critics groups' appearing in recent years with no evidence of possessing members plural, or indeed actual critics, this one's legit! A mildly unusual slate for their first time out, with some nominees entirely new to the season making an appearance, including Anna and the Apocalypse, and Gemma Chan for Crazy Rich Asians. Winners will be declared on the 10th of January. Check it all out below.
