T
he race is on for the Oscars. One day ahead of the nominations for the Golden Globes today, the Broadcast Film Critics Association unveiled theirs yesterday.
Martin Scorsese’s latest film The Irishman, which was released on Netflix on November 27, is a clear favorite with 14 nominations.
Will The Irishman be the successor to Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma, which was the 2018 Critics’ Choice Awards laureate? The three-and-a-half-hour long feature is on the right track, now that it has been nominated 14 times, notably in some of the most prestigious categories: Best Picture, Best Director for Martin Scorsese, Best Actor for Robert De Niro and best Supporting Actor for Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is also in the running with 12 nominations, including one for Best Picture. Both Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt have been nominated respectively for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, while Quentin Tarantino could take home Best Director and/or Best Original Screenplay.
