The Broadcast Film Critics Association (of which I am a member) announced their nominations for the 2013 Critics’ Choice Awards this morning, which was led by Steven Spielberg‘s Lincoln bringing in a record 13 nominations including a nomination for Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay (Tony Kushner), Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), Supporting Actress (Sally Field), Supporting Actor (Tommy Lee Jones), Ensemble, Cinematography, Art Direction, Editing, Makeup and Score (John Williams).
The previous record for nominations was set by Black Swan with 12 in 2010, Les Miserables followed Lincoln with 11. Miserables was also nominated for Best Picture alongside Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained, Life of Pi, The Master, Moonrise Kingdom, Silver Linings Playbook and Zero Dark Thirty.
Just below is the complete list of nominees.
I will say this, these 13 nominations help support my current choice for Lincoln as the Oscar Best Picture front-runner. If you haven’t yet checked up my up-to-date Oscar predictions click here.
