Awards 2010: Washington D.C. Film Critics Award Nominations

It's definitely going to be a long road to Oscars as we start barreling through the critics awards, starting with the Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association, who winners are announced tomorrow. I'm not sure how they usually play things, but their selection of nominated films seems rather narrow. They seem to be playing it safe and nominating films that the general public would be aware of. The King's Speech is oddly not a player in the Best Film category, and most of the nominations are simply predictable. I mean that in a quite literal sense, as it seems like their just predicting what would get nominated, rather than choosing for themselves. The winners will be announced on Monday, so check out the nominees until then.
