Roma Leads 2018 Chicago Critics Nominations
Roma is the best film of 2018, so it's certainly heartening to see that intelligent, authoritative voices on cinema agree with this plain fact. Alfonso Cuaron's latest leads the nominations for the Chicago Film Critics Association's 2018 awards, with Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite and Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born next in line with seven. This is a damn strong slate - look at those Best Actress nominees! - with multiple nods for some of awards season's most (currently) underrepresented titles such as Paddington 2 and You Were Never Really Here, and only Mahershala Ali making it in for Green Book, refreshingly. The CFCA will present its awards tomorrow, the 8th of December. Check out all the details below:
