We did not all agree but we all voted on who we thought put on their best performances. Check out who we decided was worth a nod during award season. Let me know who you wanted to see but didn’t! There was so many great films to choose from this year it definitely made it difficult to choose.
The Music City Film Critics’ Association is proud to announce the nominees for the Music City Film Critics’ Association 2019 Film Awards.
The association is comprised of 30 professional film critics that live and work in or around Nashville, TN.
The winners will be announced on January 10, 2020.
“Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood” leads the nominations with 9 including nominations for Best Picture,
Best Director – Quentin Tarantino, Best Supporting Actor – Brad Pitt, and several others. I did not like this film. I’m just letting you know.
“Parasite” (8 nominations), “1917” (7), “The Irishman” (7) (this one was ok but was way too long), and “Jojo Rabbit” (liked this one) (7) also had strong showings.
Scarlett Johansson garnered two acting nominations. She is nominated for Best Actress for her work in “Marriage Story”, and for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Jojo Rabbit”.
Clint Redwine, president of the MCFCA said, “This was a great year for great films across all genres and styles. Our list of Best Picture nominees includes mega-blockbusters on the big screen, indie films, a foreign language film, movies from streaming platforms, and a documentary. It is going to be a very difficult process trying to pick the winners this year, because we have so many deserving nominees in all categories.”
