Goodbye, 2016, hello, awards season! Man, what a year it’s been! A year with a lot of highs and a lot of lows. But like clockwork, just prior to the New Years bell ringing, members of various different groups sit down and vote on some of the standouts of the year in terms of film achievement. Just this past Monday, The Annie Awards released their big nominations for the year, and now, the Critics’ Choice Awards have done the same!



As expected, coming out of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, the Ryan Gosling/Emma Stone vehicle La La Land is at the top of the nominations list with 12 nominations.Tied for second are the amazing sci-fi film Arrival, and the hard-hitting drama film, Moonlight, who each have 10 nominations.

One of the other big standouts is Hacksaw Ridge. Not only is it nominated for Best Picture, but it’s also secured a Best Director nomination for Mel Gibson and a Best Actor nomination for Andrew Garfield. This is huge, as Gibson has all but disappeared from the public eye since his controversial tirade in the 2010s. This success for Gibson could mark the comeback the director needs.

The winners will be announced at the Critics’ Choice Awards on December 11 by host T.J. Miller.
