The Music City Film Critics Association, based in Nashville, Tennessee, have revealed their nominations for the best in 2020 film and two films that had been rather absent in the first week of critics announcements, Mank and The Trial of the Chicago 7 (both from Netflix), bounced back today, leading the pack with nine and seven, respectively, including Best Picture and Best Director nominations.
Another Netflix property, Da 5 Bloods, also grabbed seven nominations including Best Actor for Delroy Lindo. He was joined by Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal), his D5B co-star Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom), Anthony Hopkins (The Father) and Gary Oldman (Mank).
Best Actress was an eclectic match-up that included Viola Davis (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom), Vanessa Kirby (Pieces of a Woman, her first mention this season), Frances McDormand (Nomadland), Elisabeth Moss (The Invisible Man) and Carey Mulligan in Promising Young Woman.
