Precursor: 12th D.C. Area Film Critics Nominations (2013)

It was a landslide victory for Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave, carrying away six trophies including Best Picture. That didn’t leave room for much else, but Cate Blanchett and Jared Leto were among those who stood out, Leto beating the frequently-cited Michael Fassbender. Frozen makes its first appearance on the Best Animated Feature list,…
