The San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle unveiled its 2024 nominations today, with 35 films getting represented across 16 categories.
Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist leads with nine mentions, including Best Film, Director, Best Actor (Adrien Brody) and Supporting Actor (Guy Pearce). Sean Baker’s Anora was next with seven, Best Film, Director, Best Actress (Mikey Madison) and Supporting Actor (Yura Borisov) among them.
Rounding out the Best Film nominees are three films that earned four nominations apiece: RaMell Ross’ Nickel Boys, Mike Leigh’s Hard Truths and Greg Kwedar’s Sing Sing.
Nominees in 15 of the categories are determined by the entire group through a balloting process. The Special Citation for Independent Cinema Award nominees are selected first by a committee of members, and then the overall group votes to select the winners, which will be announced on December 15.
