‘Drive My Car’ director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi is this year’s most nominated individual, with nominations for Film, Director, Writer and Foreign Language Film of the Year.
Olivia Colman, Penelope Cruz, Renate Reinsve, Joanna Scanlan and Kristen Stewart are all shortlisted for the Actress of the Year award while Benedict Cumberbatch, Adam Driver, Andrew Garfield, Oscar Isaac and Daniel Kaluuya will compete for the actor of the year.
Voted by more than 180 critics from print, online and broadcast media, the nominations were announced Thursday afternoon in London.
The ceremony will take place on February 6, 2022.
“Even though theaters were closed for half of this year, our members were still watching movies,” said Rich Cline, president of the Critics’ Circle’s Film section, in a statement. “On the nomination papers, voters nominated 204 feature films, of which 51 are on shortlists. Because our members see so many films, our nominations tend to be a bit different from other groups, finding a diverse selection of worthy talent in studio blockbusters as well as low budget indie’s.
