Awards 2010: Broadcast Film Critics Association Award Nominations

For the love of God! These critics just won't shut up today! I'm always quick to criticize the decisions of the critical elite, but they're just being plain stupid now. The Broadcast Film Critics Association has released their nominations, and they are, as per usual, full of crap. There are a few things that I wholly admire, including Chloe Moretz getting two Young Actor/Actress nominations for Let Me In and Kick-Ass. However, for the most part, I'm just flaming with rage that they omitted The Kids Are All Right from the Best Picture race. It's completely unreasonable to cut it out and instead give it's spot to The Town. I'm also surprised that Black Swan got as many nominations as it did. I haven't seen the film, and I'm still looking forward to it, but when a film I haven't seen is put ahead of films that I already love, I get an unfriendly bias against said film. Comment below on your own enraged thoughts!
