Topping another set of nominations, Carol edged out Mad Max: Fury Road by one nomination. Ex Machina and Spotlight did fairly well. One of the few critics groups to announce after Star Wars: The Force Awakens released gave it three nominations, but only in the tech categories (plus a Best Breakthrough nomination).

Seemingly a new trend is emerging with Tom McCarthy picking up companion Best Director prizes, which he hasn’t been successful…

Vancouver announced their nominees a week earlier than expected. The Revenant was the top nominee, scoring three citations including Best Picture and Director along with Best Actor.
