Precursor: 55th National Society of Film Critics Awards (2020)
Nomadland has swept the incredibly small and cliquish National Society of Film Critics. Several films got love, but Promising Young Woman, among others, was completely left out even in the screenplay category. With so few members, I would expect a fairly narrow set of films and they have certainly delivered that. Award Tallies (4) Nomadland…

Precursor: 19th Columbus Critics Awards (2020)
Leave it to the already diverting Columbus critics to honor Promising Young Woman with its top award, recognizing the film’s greatness. Too bad they will likely be the only ones. Everything else was a fairly predictable slate of selections. Awards Tallies (3) Nomadland, Promising Young Woman (2) Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Minari, Sound of Metal…
