The Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) have announced their Midseason Film Awards nominations and The Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All At Once leads with 8, including Best Picture, Best Director(s), Best Screenplay and four individual acting mentions.
Matt Reeves’ The Batman was next with six, also securing Picture, Director and four acting nominations. Several films picked up four nods, including The Northman, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and the biggest box office film of the year, Top Gun: Maverick. Recent openers Cha Cha Real Smooth and Elvis nabbed three nods apiece. All are nominated for Best Picture along with Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, RRR and Turning Red.
“2022 was the first year since 2019 where theaters saw a true return to normal,” notes HCA Founder, Scott Menzel. “While the Sundance Film Festival remained virtual in 2022, other festivals, including SXSW and Cannes, returned to their in-person celebrations, which as a result, attracted movie lovers from all over the world to return to film festivals.”
The box office has shown tremendous growth with films like Top Gun: Maverick breaking box office records across the world while the indie sensation Everything Everywhere All At Once became the highest-grossing A24 movie of all time. “In a year where audiences are returning to theaters, we couldn’t be happier to be celebrating our never-ending love of film and this year’s Midseason Awards nominees showcase a wide variety of films that include blockbusters and indie gems,” adds HCA co-founder, Ashley Menzel.
The group also has a ‘Most Anticipated’ category, which covers from in the second of half of 2022 that haven’t opened yet. Those nominees are Avatar: The Way of Water, Babylon, Don’t Worry Darling, Killers of the Flower Moon and Nope.
