Critics' Choice Awards 2020 nominations are out and it seems... well, it seems like an awards forum Oscar predictions: no daring picks; once again more than 5 nominees in each category, with a big couple of category with 7 nominees!; and... Cynthia Erivo?! Really? Well, kudos for the Critics Choice Awards for nominating Uncut Gems in some above the line categories, including Best Picture - and I'm not being ironic, since it seems like the least conventional of their picks.
As expected, The Irishman, Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and Little Women lead the critics' choice nominations, with Ford v. Ferrari, 1917 and Jojo Rabbit also making a strong show in terms of number of nominations. Marriage Story scored 7 nominations, most of them in above the line categories.
