OSCAR WATCH: Critics Choice Nominations


Let the games begin! Today the Broadcast Film Critics Association sounded off on the year's best films and like clockwork, "La La Land" led the field with 12 nominations. Not far behind were "Moonlight" and "Arrival" with 10 nods each, as this year's Critics Choice nominations more or less kept in line with the established buzz. However, there was one film that underperformed and it was "Jackie", which missed out on Best Picture and Best Director. This is a major blow for Fox Searchlight as the film is nothing if not a critics' film. Let's hope the Golden Globes come through for it, as this is exactly the kind of challenging biopic that awards bodies should celebrate. Here is the full list of nominees for the Critics Choice Awards:
