London Film Critics Circle Nominations: ‘The Souvenir’ leads
The London Film Critics Circle nominations are out and Joanna Hogg’s The Souvenir leads the pack with seven mentions including Film of the Year. Curiously though, Hogg was not nominated for Director of the Year.
The Irishman and 1917 came in with six mentions apiece, including Film and Director of the Year and Portrait of a Lady on Fire also earned Film and Director of the Year nominations. Parasite, Marriage Story and Pain and Glory earned five nominations each.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood only received two nominations, one for Brad Pitt in supporting actor and one for Barbara Ling’s production design. Knives Out received a single nomination, in Film of the Year, while The Farewell was snubbed entirely.
