I'm loving that Mad Max is continuing to show some traction, slowly becoming a legitimate threat to get in for Best Picture and Best Director. Creed getting some love is also nice. I went and saw that yesterday and I was pretty blown away by the performances of both Jordan and Stallone and think their wins here are deserving. But Saoirse Ronan winning Best Actress here proves that Best Actress look to be between her and Brie Larson for Room. Kristen Stewart is also slowly proving herself as a dark horse in the Best Supporting Actress race. If she can at least get in the Globes, then she's a definite threat to get in the Oscars. So far, Inside Out is 3-0 in the critics circle wins for Best Animated Feature, winning at the BOFCA, NYFCC, and the NBR. Although, I would watch out for Anomalisa which made the top 10 and could steal Inside Out's thunder.

As the various critics groups announce their nominees and winners, I will also cover those as they roll out. The Washington DC Film Critics Association should be announcing their nominees later today and the Boston Film Critics, New York Film Critics Online, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association will announce their winners tomorrow. So be on the lookout for my coverage of the critics groups. Here is to a great awards season!
