Searchlight’s Nomadland and A24’s Minari led the 2020 Florida Film Critics Circle nominations today with six apiece, including Best Picture and Best Director (for Chloé Zhao and Lee Isaac Chung, respectively).

The Father, First Cow and The Trial of the Chicago 7 were next with five apiece, with the latter two rounding out the Best Picture nominees. Chadwick Boseman was double-nominated, in lead for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and in supporting for Da 5 Bloods.
