Here Are The 2020 Nominees of the Vancouver Film Critics Circle!

Posted on February 19, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

The never-ending awards season continues with the Vancouver Film Critics announcing their nominees for the best of 2020! Apparently, up in Vancouver, they really, really like Mank. I guess it’s because of the whole drunk socialist thing, I don’t know.

The Vancouver nominations are kind of strange because, in most of the categories, there’s only three nominees. I mean, that just seems kind of pointless to me. When other groups are nominating a 100 movies for best picture before selecting Nomadland, why would you only nominate three? It’s especially strange when you consider that the eligibility period has been extended to such an extent that it seems to be practically begging everyone to give into excess. The three nominee thing is odd and it’s going to leave me thinking for the next few hours or so. Of course, as well all know, Vancouver is never less than intriguing.

Anyway, the winners will be announced on February 22nd! Here are the nominees:
