The Austin Film Critics Association nominations are out and The Handmaiden grabbed a ton of mentions including Best Film, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay. Last year, the group awarded Mad Max: Fury Road as their Best Film.
The usual suspects of La La Land, Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight earned multiple mentions (including Best Film, where Arrival joined them) and for the first time, another supporting actor from Moonlight joined Mahershala Ali in that category – Trevante Rhodes, who also earned a Breakthrough Artist nomination. Supporting Actor saw yet another pairing with Jeff Bridges and Ben Foster sharing nominations for Hell or High Water.
Curiously missing from Best Actress was La La Land‘s Emma Stone. Barry Jenkins received another Original Screenplay nomination just a day after the Academy deemed Moonlight eligible in Adapted Screenplay.
