Last night the 26th annual Critics Choice Awards (virtual) were held, which somewhat bows the critics phase of the previous season. Full disclosure, I’m a voting member of the Critics Choice Association but most of you already knew this. So what did CCA do? You campaigned for Nomadland and awarded Promising Young Woman two big prizes. Netflix fell a little below expectations as Mank and The Trial of the Chicago 7 fetched fewer prices than expected. What is that supposed to mean? Well we have to wait and see, but it comes right when the members of the academy vote, so keep that in mind …
