Well, I must say that this year's Critics Choice Awards are plenty of good choices in my opinion. I loved the fact that they recognized Noomi Rapace as a nominee in the Best Actress category for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, but there are some missing names like Lesley Manville for Another Year, Dianne Wiest for Rabbit Hole or even John Hawkes for Winter's Bone? What about Somewhere and Animal Kingdom missing in screenplay categories? And... hey!... Why isn't The Kids Are All Right nominated for Best Picture? Shouldn't Hailee Steinfeld be in the leading actress category (I think she seems more a "leading" than a "supporting" actress)?
But I can't complain about Critics' Choice Awards specially after having a look at Golden Globes, but it is another post...
Here's the nominees list with my winner predictions with an *:
