2024 Film Critics Awards - In Progress

What's New

December 7: Nominations from Michigan Movie Critics Guild, San Diego Film Critics Society, and Seattle Film Critics Society. Number One from New York Times Film Critics.

---///---

Three years have pass since the last time I was able to do this compilation and as the first film critics group announced yesterday it's time to try to do this post again to see which film critics group are still alive, which are new and learn what are they liking enough to get their honors.

Worth mentioning is the fact that critics, by trade, are NOT Academy members and consequently cannot vote in the Oscars. Post works as mainly American film critics preferences tally for the current award season. Furthermore, usually film critics' winners data is different to what audiences like and nowadays less and less similar to what AMPAS members like.

There are full list of nominations and winners links to most groups official sites and will add announcements dates when and if they're announced/available.

Post will be in progress until the last group announces its winners which usually happens by the second week of January next year.
