The Greater Western New York Film Critics Association — seriously, try saying that five times fast — has announced their picks for the best of 2020 and they went with Nomadland.  I know that’s probably a shock as Nomadland hasn’t really been much of a precursor player this awards season.  Anyway, I’ll give you a few minutes to recover from my sarcasm.

Recovered?
