Wicked didn’t make the cut among the London Film Critics Circle noms — it wasn’t included in the Film of the Year lineup, Jon M. Chu wasn’t nominated for Best Director, and Cynthia Erivo didn’t make the Best Actress roster.

Will this generally sluggish feeling be shared among BAFTA members also? Maybe.

In a phrase, Wicked is melting in England…melting! Oh, what a world, what a world!

Maria‘s Angelina Jolie also came up short with the Brit critics. Face it — her Oscar campaign is all but dead.

Anora and The Brutalist were the big winners, although again we’re only talking nominations at this stage.

London Film Critic nominees for Film of the Year (alphabetical): All We Imagine As Light, Anora, The Brutalist, La Chimera, Conclave, Emilia Pérez, Kneecap, Nickel Boys, Nosferatu, The Substance.

Wicked is in trouble, let’s face it. It’ll be Best Picture nominated, of course, but without the BAFTA vote it’s going to come up short.
