The Hollywood Critics Association, formerly known as The Los Angeles Online Film Critics Society announced their nominations for their 3rd Annual Hollywood Critic Awards. The award show will be held at the Taglyan Complex in Los Angeles on January 9th, 2020. Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon in Hollywood tops the HCA nominations list with eleven nominations including Best Picture and Best Male Director. Netflix’s The Irishman and A24’s Waves each earn nine nominations. Lulu Wang’s The Farewell & Todd Phillips’ Joker each scored seven nominations. The members of the Hollywood Critics Society also supported some of the more underrepresented films of the year including Neon’s Wild Rose, Amazon’s Brittany Runs A Marathon, Warner Brothers’ Blinded by the Light, and Roadside Attraction’s The Peanut Butter Falcon.
“The creation and goal of this organization has always been about celebrating film while embracing diversity and elevating underrepresented voices. We believe that our mission is universal, and this is why we changed our name to be reflective of that. As we continue to push for change, we want to be part of the solution, which means slowly building a community of passionate critics who are reflective of the USA and the world as a whole,” states HCA’s Chairman, Scott Menzel.
In total, the Hollywood Critic Association nominated 59 different films, including several independents as well as major studio blockbusters. Netflix received the most nominations with a total of 19, A24 not too far behind with 18, followed by Sony with 16. A full list of the HCA nominations can be found below:
