It's hard to give much thought to the critics awards that take the time to dole out nominations. At this point, why not just get to the awards? The Detroit critics seemed to be in line perfectly with everyone else, with one notable difference. "Take Shelter" got a significant heap of awards many didn't expect it would. Seems like Detroit really loves the economic apocalyptic feature from Jeff Nichols.
